http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/ Garden news can range from the smallest new plant purchase to the biggest new landscaping project. 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. en-us Copyright 1997-2004 Eggyweb Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:55:48 -0800 http://backend.userland.com/rss eggy@mooseyscountrygarden.com http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-journal-09/summer-garden-journal-091109.html 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. Hurry up, you lot...

The big bearded irises in my garden are just flowering... An iris nursery! Hee hee - I could buy some more.

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'. It's rose time!

Forget the phrase 'less is more'...

Of course I love rose flowers, but rugosas also have wonderful textural foliage. The rose Corylus is one of my latest leafy rugosa treasures. Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:48:10 -0800 http://rose-garden/corylus-rugosa-rose.html http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/rose-garden/rose-english-cream.html 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. Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:38:51 -0800 http://rose-garden/rose-english-cream.html http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/rose-garden/souvenir-malmaison-rose.html 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!

Where did those luscious Lupins come from? And the ferns? Every year there are new clumps of this and that in my house gardens.

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. It's so obvious to me, as a compulsive recycler.

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...

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...

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.

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.

For this is the month when summer rolls in, the sun shines down, and everything in the garden grows - and grows - and grows...
