I planted 7 roses in the weekend, the weather was pretty good on Sunday. I'm aiming for a garden with a lot more structure this time round, cos those truly cottagey gardens defeat me. I can't remember what I have planted, so I don't weed. Then off course anything I have planted won't grow because it is being smothered. So all I have is roses and weeds which I won't pull out because of the bulbs underneath.
This time I am having a garden in only two colours of flowers, yellow and blue. And then all other colours can be pulled out. And I have marked where the bulbs are.
The other thing I discovered in Burnham, is I hate gardening out the front of the house. Call me neurotic, but I don't like pointing my butt at the passing traffic. This house has the high maintenence garden out the back, in the sun, away from the street, and the house opens onto it. And it is tiny, giving me some hope of maintaining it.
