Then there's the big wide gardening world outside the garden gate to keep an eye on. What about all the garden tours, new plant releases, garden festivals? They all promise new experiences. Something's always happening somewhere, be it on radio, TV, in magazines, on the internet, at the local nursery, or at Moosey's Country Garden. 20 Nov 09 November Week 3 - Yet More Today I start pulling out the forget-me-nots in the Driveway Borders. But what about my half-hardy gap-fillers - all those daisies and pelargoniums that I've been growing from cuttings? They're all finger-sized... 18 Nov 09 November Week 3 - More The good life of the Head Gardener is full of simple things - like windless rain in the night (good for the Moosey Garden) and going swimming (good for the Moosey cardiovascular system) and playing Bach on the piano (good for the Moosey soul)... 17 Nov 09 Visit to an Iris Nursery A visit to an Iris Nursery with the local Garden club - what a wonderful way to spend a day off from the garden. The big bearded irises in my garden are just flowering... An iris nursery! Hee hee - I could buy some more... 16 Nov 09 November Week 3 Wow. A new week - I can't remember the garden ever looking so good. Out come more and more roses, accompanied by the descriptors 'beautiful', 'extremely beautiful', 'incredibly beautiful', and the more colloquial 'oh so very beautiful'... 13 Nov 09 November Week 2 - Yet More If the Head Gardener puts up a whole web-page with just one day's gardening news on it, then that must mean she does heaps of work, and has oodles of amazingly interesting things to talk about. Forget the phrase 'less is more'... 13 Nov 09 Corylus I fell in love with rugosa roses early in my country gardening life. Of course I love rose flowers, but rugosas also have wonderful textural foliage. The rose Corylus is one of my latest leafy rugosa treasures... 13 Nov 09 Ivory-Cream Rose This lovely ivory-cream rose was gifted to Mooseys from a gardening friend. I can't think why she wanted to get rid of it - the rose has shown no signs of ill-health, forming a medium-tall compact shrub with lots of flowers... 12 Nov 09 Souvenir de la Malmaison What a beautiful country rose Souvenir de la Malmaison is - when seen from a distance. This rose spreads and arches her fat pink flowers, and looks drop dead gorgeous. But don't get too close!... 12 Nov 09 Pots and Ferns Peeping around the side of the house towards the Laundry Garden there are many beautiful late spring surprises. Where did those luscious Lupins come from? And the ferns? Every year there are new clumps of this and that in my house gardens... 12 Nov 09 November Week 2 - More Oh dear, dear, dear me. I have eleven clumps of (free) Agapanthus to dig out. So more Agapanthus plants are coming to be planted in the Moosey country garden. And none of my gardening friends will understand why... 12 Nov 09 Upcoming Events Oops. November is flying by, and I love it. There's new colour every day from late rhododendrons, roses, irises, and favourite perennials like the lupins. And I'm bringing in new plants all the time..... 9 Nov 09 November Week 2 What a weekend! Three monster Cabbage trees dug up from another garden, driven across town, and planted on the far edge of the Frisbee Lawn. This morning Non-Gardening Partner and myself are off to pick up a wooden garden bench - another one! Gardens need lots of benches... 6 Nov 09 November Week 1 - Yet More I am not a boring, predictable person! Today I do things in a different order - piano first, then breakfast, then gardening. I might even finish my digging project later this afternoon, when the sun has sunk a bit... 3 Nov 09 November Week 1 - More Hee hee hee. Checking first with Non-gardening Partner (whose response was typically mannish - do I really want more of those?) I have 'bought' three monster Cordylines for one dollar. He will help me dig them out this weekend... 2 Nov 09 November Week 1 Hello, November - the New, Now, Never-Mind-About-the-Weeds gardening month. For this is the month when summer rolls in, the sun shines down, and everything in the garden grows - and grows - and grows....
