I think Corry collected his and fixed his fence so hopefully it will be more peaceful tonight :) Yes I DO miss having a garden BUT IT is Winter and it does seem to rain a lot here.... so at the moment I can cope :) I have planted some more Spring bulbs but nothing seems to be happening ! #Post#: 46348-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: DarienJ Date: June 25, 2024, 4:32 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I hope the fence mending lasts and that will be the last time for runaway cows. If you have planted some more spring bulbs, of course nothing is happening yet, it's way too early!!!!!! #Post#: 46356-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: Moira Date: June 26, 2024, 4:29 am --------------------------------------------------------- Yes today the cows are all safe in their own paddocks .......... ! Yes I do know my Spring bulbs are not ready YET BUT the Poppy seeds I sowed a while ago are all flowering and getting wind and weather blown ! Also when driving back from Whanganui the other day I spied quite a few bunches of daffodils in various gardens along the road ! #Post#: 46364-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: DarienJ Date: June 26, 2024, 5:14 pm --------------------------------------------------------- It does depend what type of bulbs you have planted and there are some types of Daffodils, the smaller varieties, that flower in winter. They will come up when they are ready. #Post#: 46372-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: Moira Date: June 27, 2024, 4:00 am --------------------------------------------------------- OH I did not know that about the different kinds of bulbs ! I do have some other bulbs coming up but no labels on them so I have no idea what they are ... a Surprise :) #Post#: 46381-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: DarienJ Date: June 27, 2024, 4:31 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Ah.... but what a lovely surprise that will be [emoji7] I only have Hyacinth and Daffodil bulbs, but I am thinking of getting a few more, I love Irises and there are so many varieties of them. #Post#: 46388-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: Moira Date: June 28, 2024, 3:52 am --------------------------------------------------------- Mine are also mainly Hyacinth and Daff. bulbs and some Crocus too :) I did have Iris bulbs in Helensville and they grew well too :) #Post#: 46394-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: DarienJ Date: June 28, 2024, 5:14 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I have a large pot that I had a rhodadendrum in, I have been thinking of putting some different bulbs in that and now would be the time to plant them as we don't get frosts here. That might be a plan to do this week some time. #Post#: 46400-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: Moira Date: June 29, 2024, 4:17 am --------------------------------------------------------- I remember seeing your photo of your Rhododendron bush once upon a time :) What happened to it ? I have never grown them so I know nothing about them :) #Post#: 46406-------------------------------------------------- Re: I Found This Info By: DarienJ Date: June 29, 2024, 4:38 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I ended up throwing it out. I had had it for about 20 odd years in a pot and I believe it eventually got fed up with being contained in a pot. It was looking sick and tired, but I didn't, or rather couldn't be bothered, putting it in the ground. Perhaps I should have, but they can get out of hand in the ground!!!! ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
