Plants in the Garden March 2024
As the end of dahlia season approaches, we face a big decision: lift the tubers or leave them in the ground? I have always been a no fuss gardner and the thought of lifting bulbs such as Tulips and daffodils has never been something I have ever pondered. Now that it is almost the time when Dahlias are finishing, ( although some of mine are just starting). I have to decide what to do with the tubers. It does get really wet here in the winter and the clay soil is heavy. I lost about 8 tubers this year because they rotted in the wet ground. My thinking at the moment is to leave the survivors in as they made it through winter last year. I wont replant in the wet until we have drainage in that area. Am I being lazy? Maybe. But I believe a garden should be self care eventually and if I have to keep digging tubers up, washing them, storing them and then replant them again then that's a chore I dont need. I will keep you posted.
Well here we are in November 24 and the rain is still causing some concern and yet after 3 days of hot weather I find I need to water. that's gardening. There have been some additions to the plants.....
The Wedding Tree Cornus controversa
Magnolia Black Tulip
Weeping Birch Betula pendula youngii
Magnolia Magnoilia grandifloraa
All are in the main lawn and looking quite majestic already. Of course I have been warned how big they grow and thankfully someone else will have that to deal with.
