Creating rainbows with sprinklers all over the garden. |
Back at Dixter! The Hemerocallis trial is due to take place at the end of this week, so all day was spent weeding this area.
Tues 16th July
Weather: More overcast & sultry but still hot.
Weeding in the Peacock garden.
Weds 17th July
Weather: Hottest day so far! It went up to 28°C.
I continued weeding and taking out brown stuff from the Peacock Garden, and staked a tall growing Nepeta transcaucasica of amazing wild sprawling habit just to tame it a little and an Achillea cartilaginea 'Silver Spray', a very fine big flowered yarrow from De Hessenhof nursery.
Then I planted in some Persicara orientalis, and it's watering, watering, watering everywhere, everyone is moving sprinklers around the garden as part of their tasks.
Thurs 18th July
Weather: Hot
Continued weeding, clearing brown bits in Peacock garden especially where a Lupinus arboreus has been cut down and has left a lot of debris.
Fri 19th July
Weather: Hot
All day working on the Hemerocallis again to make sure they're ready for tomorrow!
