Doing what.....?
It's been a bit dull in here for days so I assume that everyone is busy with
Autumn tasks. What are you up to in the garden? I've been tidying up very messy beds and watering deeply but even after about 3 hours one section of one bed was as dry as a chip today. I've been planting some silene vulgaris (Bladderwort - an old favourite) and buying sweet pea seeds and broad bean seeds planning where I'm going to put them. |

We just had a flood & the sand flies to which I am alergic are swarming. So no garden & besides moving in 6 weeks. A new garden to start & NO sandflies there. Yea!!!!!!! |

See blog. Aaaaah! You need a couple of Jack Russells. Mine are very skilled ratters and don't ask for much but do like a nice lounge to lie on in the afternoons for their post prandial snooze. Where were the blighters hidden? |

Today I was planting around 800 bulbs seeds. Tomorrow will plant more and all my spring bulbs as well. So what sort of bulb seeds and what sort of bulbs? I've been looking at bulbs and don't think I can resist more daffs and jonquils in as bright as yellow as possible. Might even try a few pink daffs. |

It hasn't rained more than a sprinkle for 10 days, prior to that 240mm in two weeks, so we have had a chance to get out and do stuff that has been impossible. However, storms are brewing right now ..... I would love to be renovating the garden, which has had little attention this summer, and planting cool season annuals etc but this will have to wait til the paddocks are clean. David |

The bulb and corm seed I have planted are Babiana, Onixotis & Galtonia, I have some others to do as well. Bulbs and corms I have planted include Babiana pulchra, Babiana villosa, Babiana stricta (white form), Sparaxis grandiflora, Sparaxis elegans, Tritonia deusta, Ornithagalum arabica, Ornithagalum thyroides and some Moraea's tomorrow. So far 2 days planting and hopefully over tomorrow. Cheers Richard |

Well I think the cooler weather is a better time to be doing it rahter than in the summer, but then I hate that hot weather while I know some people thrive on it. I go into hibernation in the summer. |

Or have I got it muddled up as I thought there were at least 2 varieties of these????? |

Unless climate change is having some really bizarre results in your area that would be estivation :-) David |

I purchased the seed to see how they would go. They looked the variety from the pics I looked at. |
