I took what I believe will be the last pics 2013 as there was a slight frost on the bins this morning.
Bishop, that did very well, I need to dead head, maybe tomorrow.
Aeonium
I am very pleased with this plant. I bought compost for re-potting today to bring it indoors.
This rose has done well to say when I bought it, stored it (winter delivery only) took it out in spring it had a brown dead side. I will recieve a replacement free of charge in November.
I was'nt going to buy a Fern but glad I did now, I hope to buy another again next season.
Ensete got bigger leaves at the cost of a smaller trunk, its a thick wide one but short.
Thats it! *Click the pics*.

Re: Last Pics
Looking good Kata! I'd cut another 8" of grass from around the tree fern, it will sap loads of energy from the fern.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: Last Pics
Leave the metal if you worried about leaving a hole in the side of trunk.. but the tag is for customs etc and looks a mess in situ, not very natural lolfern Rob wrote:I would leave the tag.
Re: Last Pics
Yes Rob, another is on the cards, same supplier,
Thanks Rob!
Cordy; I put the Ensete round a corner, thats its winter home now along with any other potted plants. Hardly any stem to see cus the dratted leaf size. Next years Ensete is going to be planted out.
The tag.. Been looking at that all summer, should I..should'nt I?
Yes getting used to the camera now.
I still say that Fern is leaning to one side.
Thanks cordy!
Tom;I looked at the grass this morning, I like to leave three days for the grass to dry, it was still raining up to yesterday, maybe weekend. I hate a long winter grass so I hope to get it cut ASAP.
Thanks Tom!

Re: Last Pics

Re: Last Pics
Behave Cordy its chuckin it down here...all day.
I bet unless I dig it out that grass is never going to get mowed, its like a swamp at the minute.
Yes, yes I will remove the tag when its drier....

Re: Last Pics
No GH, sorry,
I have had a really bad time in this bungalow since I moved here, currently waiting to move due to rats in the attic.
First year a fly Infestation..cluster flies that come in from the cold/smell a body in attics then leave within 10days.
Second year mice.
Six weeks now I have rats in my attic, the council come to feed them then the rats die elsewhere. I can hear them scutter up and down the attic, they peed so much its spoiled the bedroom (only bedroom) celing paper.
So Enstes are the last thing I worry about. I will do what i can to keep it from freezing, I have one of those tall plant pots that can be put over it after I fleece it.

Re: Last Pics
Kata I mean cut the turf away 8".

Re: Last Pics
Oh now I understand Tom,
I usually trim round the plants before mowing, the plants do need a bigger space. Small trachis are even worse.
I did'nt plant any Tom a guy up the road did. I believe it was because the garden space is very much at a premium.
Thanks Tom!

Re: Last Pics
Grass does not have very deep roots, it's not affected my tree ferns in the lawn, they are doing well.

The tag I always think gives the plant some history and a little interest.kata wrote:Yes Rob, another is on the cards, same supplier,
