Fireman Sam Wrapping Paper

Day Everything and anything is still

Here it is the children are asleep and I have a few minutes before me to come chat with you ... well it is rather I who am going to chat!

The day ends and it's still hot for the end of August. The kids will head back to school and it's a downpour that will hit us on the corner of the head!

Anyway ...

What's new in the garden at hand:

- slugs which are unfortunately not on holiday (probably too tight budget from in Morocco !). Too bad for my failed attempt yet radish and carrots: I give up for this year!
Why this kind of slimy dirt do not migrate as storks? huh?

- attacks of powdery mildew on my squash, but I saw the recipe in Caro who do well for us with a recipe bio I will try tomorrow (if I think!)

- a new patch on the pool this morning .... no comment please!

- plants that grow as more I have not watered, I let Mother Nature do (this was a bit stingy with water in our area ... I know ... it's not fair, I hear by those who swim the butterfly in their garden!)

- bereavements: lights: phlox ' Fugiyama ', eggplant, Alchemilla ... and all those who have not had time to occur before disappear permanently. "Wherever you are (probably in the stomach of a slug ..), know that I will retry the next year except for you, eggplant, I was really disappointed too ...

- few questions for you expensive ( res) friends (es) bloggers ( keynote speakers) who go there.

because I wondered:

1) it was possible to keep a zonal geranium house because in my garage with temperatures below 0 ° in winter, I fear that it freezes: the color is too beautiful and I want to keep ...

2) if it were possible to keep a plectantrus variegated geranium all like: home, garage or make cuttings??

3) When can we begin to move plants in the garden (shrubs and perennials). Should wait for falling leaves eg shrubs, perennials that fade??


Nan, because there, you see I have a job: to enlarge a kitchen garden and plants to move because the color combinations are not all in good taste (or frankly ugly ) and I had a surprise like colors that had nothing to do with labels or descriptions (total scam!). Then I did some silly things like planting in the sun, so that exposure should be ... anyway nice shady beginner mistakes!

How I want to get back, (the weeding 'm getting serious sweat, I'd like to move on now), I can not wait to start the war!

Everyone knows that the quality of the gardener is patience (ahem).
I do not know about you but I prances. I want to pick up a shovel, pick, make holes, return the land, plant, move, cut, having dirty hands, knees all raspy and full of earth, blisters on hands and broken nails, back ground, smell the manure! (Masochistic gardener?? Can be ....).
But what fun spring and summer after seeing this little world grow, flowers bloom, the colors change over the months and be surprised to hear them exclaim with friends of ohhh ahhh and , and you tell them "it moua who did so (with Mr , but shhh, the flower is a girl thing!).

Yes you have understood the return is not just for kids!
strongly Then the search for gems in the nursery!

Well, I talk, I talk ... I'll probably have more questions for you regarding the garden!
Thanks in advance to all who help me!

Good weekend holiday (delete as appropriate) to all!
