I planted some long-sought-after Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ two years ago and this year they have really taken off. They are a gorgeous orange colour, and the name is perfect. It was the natural choice for this week’s arrangement for Cathy’s In a Vase on Monday meme (Rambling in the Garden), and allowed me to use one of my favourite vases too.
I added another Geum, which may be Red Wings, but some of my labels have disappeared again! And some Spiraea ‘Magic Carpet’ which is looking stunning this year after all the rain we have had.
It has been a busy couple of weeks, with work on the new bed progressing. Here is a sneak preview, with my vase standing on the freshly spread woodchip mulch which will soon turn grey in the sun but is dazzling at the moment! (The plants still look so small!)
The complete bed will be revealed at a later date as there is still much to do. 😉
We have had some great gardening weather which has allowed me to catch up with chores… the runner beans are sown, tomatoes almost ready to go into their final containers, annual geraniums potted up. It’s beginning to look like summer here with no sign of any more frost, so fingers crossed. I have also finally got some weeding done today, just in time as some of the weeds were getting the overhand!
Now do go and visit Cathy to see what she and others are sharing from their gardens today. And have a great week.
Happy Gardening!
