I need to start blogging again to keep my mind occupied with other things and to continue recording positives and this lovely place in which we live, and the progress in the garden. I am not really sure why I stopped blogging, I guess I needed a break, I really don't know. The last couple of years have been strange, and a huge awakening in many ways, but I am not going to go on about that. Rather, today's post is going to start with re-potting some blueberry plants I have.
These three blueberry plants, amazingly produced a good couple of handfuls of blueberries this year.
But as you can see they needed repotting
A closer shot of the lovely plant behind the new pots.
Re-potted and on the front deck. I was going to plant them in the orchard, but we still haven't got a fruit cage up, and with the price of wood now it is unlikely in the near future, and as they seem to do quite well out the front here and produced a reasonable crop of blueberries for such small plants, in the meantime they can stay here.
We took down some wire and a scraggly climber that was on our deck. We should have done this when we moved in, as we discovered when we moved the big heavy pot that the previous owners handed treated the wood under the pot and the deck had started to rot. Hubby coated it with wood hardener and several coats of decking treatment and with the seating over it, it should be well protected now. The seat still needs treating. I gave it about four coats last year, but the sun is very bright and hot here, so any wood needs treating regularly. I put up our Chihuahua sign that we got given a few years ago.
Some photos of the roses and flowers in the garden. This one is out the front as is the one below.
Beautiful water lilies in our pond.
