I'd love to see a pic Jilly. I tried that down the garden but the bunnies ate the erigeron so I just had Bill on his own!   |

Well they did say it was a wildlife attracting combination Jasmine, probably not quite what they had in mind though.

No! I'm wondering about chocolate cosmos and bright red geraniums as I don't have the bright red salvia needed for the combination in GI  |

I've got one of my Chocolate Cosmos very close to Bishop of Llandaff Jasmine & that looks pretty good. |

That's it - I'll stick the chocolate cosmos in the hot bed by my Bishop of Llandaff - thanks Jilly. I'm so determined to get everything planted! |

As I was saying on the other thread Auricula & Jasmine I've been v.v slow this month, in fact Auricula I've still got the July issue of GI for you  , this week I promise. Luckily I think this is one of the months when there isn't a Gardening Which, or at least it hasn't arrived yet & I'm sure from other years they miss out one issue in the Winter & one in late summer, because I'm sure it's only 10 issues a year. |

What books are you reading that are distracting you from your gardening mags Jilly? |

You know my obsession with high fantasy Jasmine, after putting it off for ages because the reviews are always saying how complicated & hard to follow they are, I've just started The Malazan Book of the Fallen (all 10 volumes of it ) by Steven Erikson. I'm on book 2 atm & I'm finding it just complicated enough, just very hard to put down. |

Only 8 more to go then Jilly then you can get back to Monty - he's looking very wistful in his Writing Garden this month - I ask you - A Writing Garden?  ? I guess if you read in your garden you could have a Reading Garden! I might write a shopping list in mine and I can have a Writing Garden too! |

I could put a computer in mine and have a shopping garden |

Post by Jasmine on Jul 30, 2013 19:12:04 GMT
Then we can all sit about looking wistful! |

I think my paper would get a bit soggy if I tried writing in the garden atm, which I suppose would make me quite wistful Thanks for GA Ladygardener, which arrived yesterday. Auricula, I've got July's issue of GI in my bag & I'm putting it in the post in a minute (finally )), well it is still July (just ), there's a lovely big section on Campanulas in it, so you wouldn't have wanted it too soon anyway if you can't buy any plants until after the 4th |

Had a look at the Coreopsis pots in GW, I see they used my idea of putting Lantana with them, they just had the good taste not to use the orange & pink ones , I liked the purple Coleus with them though. Jasmine I'm just putting GA in the post, it's a cottage garden special, so lots of lovely gardens & planting combinations. |

Yep... already this morning I have nearly : weeded a border ( got the trug out ) done the washing ( opened the laundry basket lid ) washed up ( filled the bowl with soapy water ) and swept the patio ( found the stiff brush ) Gosh... after that lot, I'm exhausted  |
