The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - September 2014

Here we are again my lovelies. September is fading away and with it yet another Summer. Our thoughts now are to get ready for winter and of course Spring .
Masses of Wallflowers and Daffodils have been ordered along with tulips and pansies but before we get to far ahead lets look at the state of play this month.






The two overgrown roses that came with the garden are a joy. No idea what they are called but they are fab.





The window boxes are hanging on despite the dry Summer.




You can see here the evil Japanese Knot Weed. I am glad to say that after two separate attacks with glyphosate it has (for the moment) disappeared.


We have also now started work on creating some beds to put plants into.
Both in the front -


and at the back.



In the meantime things are flowering away on there own with very little help from us.

Just in time to catch the September post - 
We have bought a greenhouse!



Ok. its plastic and ugly but its big, affordable and should do the job. We love it


At last we are getting to grips with the garden. 



who knows our little gnome friend Donny might come back to us. 
He is still sulking after the loss our last garden.
