Thyme To Garden - May 2019

[AB Editor]

Happy May, everyone! How is your garden looking, and what jobs are you looking forward to getting stuck into this spring?

I need to edge the lawn today. The garden looks so much nicer when that job's been done.

Garden is looking ok. Hollyhock plant I bought recently is as limp as anything though, think I overwatered it, but it should've bucked up by now. Got to get more veg on the go. Plus awaiting nemaslug to arrive. Most, but not all, of the coleus seems to have survived being put outside *after the chance of frost was past* >:-( Only one of my woman's busy lizzies is still going. But her lawn is undergoing treatment. Much of the moss is now black, weeds proliferating in it's place. Unsure why it needs raking out if it'll be dead. Will be a massive job removing all that. Aphids evident on the roses already. So much on and planned.

The spring blossom has been amazing and I have got a good fruit set, but its so dry. I think my tub fruit will need watering if I want a harvest. The roses are amazingly well ahead and the buds are huge....looking firward tona scented summer and a good fig crop

I`ve managed to kill a camellia - it was a really nice one that I bought at Chiswick House. I`ll have to add that to the list of other plants that I have managed to kill. Gardening isn't my strong point
