It's been a while since I did much in the garden - or blogged - but today I spent a whole glorious afternoon pottering away. The recent varied weather (28C and not a cloud one day, overcast downpours the next) has made everything go nuts. My fairy-gardenmother visited to give me some much needed advice about when to give things the chop. So onto my to do list goes:
- Cistus - trim back after flowering. It's grown big as the photo shows!
- Lavender - cut the old stems back to a few inches in August.
- Convolvulus Cneorum - cut back soon as it's overtaking the Heuchera.
- Hebe - chop back low around August.
- Salvia greggii "Icing Sugar" - trim over after flowering.
- Sedum "Herbstfreude" - cut back to the base in August.
- Honeysuckle - cut right back after flowering.
