Winter jasmine

« on: October 19, 2009, 12:25:58 PM »

I just love the bright yellow flowers of this shrub, it blooms at a time when we really need the colour. I know the stems can be a bit lax but it can be clipped and it brightens up the winter garden.

Hi Val, Do you still have flowers on your winter jasmine ??
all our flowers are gone and it's rare that we prune it, because the birds love it so. It's top of the wall and about 8 ft' wide. Have just asked Eve,not sure about any flowers, so maybe I am wrong. Sorry.

I haven't got any flowers on it yet but it does over the winter. I had one years ago that refused to flower but I was a bit new to gardening then, I gave it a feed and it romped away.Its usually in the depths of winter it flowers so I guess you might not have remembered or noticed it, I bet you do this year though.

Hi Val, You right, too early for flowers yet. With this cold, my mind is not that clear ?? I was somewhat confused with our tree, that has berries on it. The Blackbirds have just started to feed recently. The main garden job, is cleaning and filling the bird baths, topping up nuts and seed. (while I am on my shaky legs) -- But it's Fun.
A squirrel came knocking at the patio window, 3 times yesterday, ahem ?? just to tell me there was No Nuts left Roll Eyes

Well one did come right up to the door (was closed) so he could not come in to 'watch' Tv = Shame. Lol!!

Laughter keeps one going Huh

We've got a walnut tree at the end of the road and every year I find walnuts sprouting in my pots where the squirrels have buried them. We'd have a forest of walnut trees if we didn't weed them out.They are cheeky, the dogs hate them and chase them out of the garden. I'm glad because they eat all the bird food.The squirrels that is, not the walnuts. lol.

They are lovely Peter, they go well with grasses and seem to flower for quite a long time.

A pleasant time was spent tidying the garden today. A little exercise and maybe a few calories burned off. Lol!!
