http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2014/02/garden-update-2014.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Sunday, 16 February 2014. Apologies for letting this blog slide since last summer but I found I had so much on that other things sort of took over. Anyways, I'm back and shall endeavour to update this blog at least once a fortnight if not weekly. So, what's been happening in the garden? The pink geraniums that were in the lower border have also been removed and are currently in residence in the west facing border until we decide where to put them. In the fr...

Here are a couple of pics of our entries. The lupins, both in the herbaceous borders and those of the Lupin Wall have been deadheaded religiously and we await a second flush - there were...

Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden: February 2013
http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Saturday, 23 February 2013. A wee bit chilly. The weather has been beautiful all week up here, with beautuiful clear blue skies every day. Unfortunately it is still February so the clear skies can only mean one thing - hard frosts every morning. This morning was no exception and it was -6 this morning as I arrived at Scotsburn. Thats it for this week. Sunday, 17 February 2013. Friday was a beautiful day, although there was still a bit of snow on the ground ...

Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden: We're getting there, slowly, but we're getting there.
http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2013/06/were-getting-there-slowly-but-were.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Friday, 7 June 2013. We're getting there, slowly, but we're getting there. The border is beginning to fill up nicely with only a few plants (most notably the Scabious and the Phlox), not performing as well as expected. The oriental poppies are opening and there are quite literally hundreds of flower buds on them this year, so if the weather stays good, it should be a fantastic display - if it rains, they'll fall to bits and look like sh*! Hare today, gone s...

http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Sunday, 19 May 2013. The sweet pea bed and the roesbed (which will be home to the Dahlias and Gladioli) have been given a feed with FB&B and will also get a top dressing of the same later in the season. On the subject of the dahlias, they have finally decided to get a shift on and are only now starting to throw up fresh shoots from their home on the greenhouse bed. Anyway here a re a few photos showing what has been happening over the last fortnight. Sally ...

Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden: June 2013
http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Thursday, 20 June 2013. Hare today, gone soon (I Hope). Well, the ongoing hare problem continues - so far the score is hare - lots, plants - nil. Not content with chowing down on the phlox, sea holly and heliopsis last week, this week he has nipped the tops off most of the onion sets, the chives, a lot of the cosmos, a couple of young hemerocallis - he has even had a nibble at rhe gladioli leaves. So anyway, on with what was accomplished today. Hare or not,...

Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Wednesday, 16 April 2014. Update Mid April 2014. Yet again, time got away from me and so I have quite a bit to update this time round. The dahlia tubers that we wish to take cuttings from have all been planted up in the greenhouse bed and I should be able to start taking cuttings tomorrow. There are also 18 strawberry runners waiting to go out, and the 50 or so gladioli corms have been cleaned and set to chit. Now, more news. The garden has had rabbit n...

Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden: November 2012
http://scotsburngarden.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Scotsburn - the reclamation of a walled garden. Friday, 9 November 2012. Bad News, Good News. Let's start with bad news - my car is knackered - the ignition barrel needs replaced and it's gonna cost way too much due to a whole heap of stuff that is linked to the ignition barrel having to be replaced as well for it to continue working, so the hunt is on for another work runabout. However, I did get a loan of the OH's car to get to work this morning - how many gardeners do you think drive to work in an XJ8?
