The yellowish hardy fuchsia in F2 was damaged by very strong wind last night. A large branch, supporting ⅓ to ½ of the plant’s foliage was broken underground. I cut it away just above the ground. Let’s see how it recovers
Fuchsia damaged by wind
Month: September 2017
Pots
| Plant | Notes | Action |
| Aubretia ‘Kitte Blue’ | Good, but only flowers from mid to late Spring. Treat as annual bedding. | Remove |
| Viola cornuta ‘Blackout’ | Good, but hard work deadheading. In general violas don’t seem to do all that well in my garden. | Remove |
| Oriental lily ‘Coldplay’ | Very good for a couple of weeks, then just leaves. | Plant out bulbs in F1 |
| Petunia | Good. Always fairly untidy. Now very scruffy. | Remove |
| Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’ | Very good flowers in Spring. Then very good foliage | Keep for the foliage |
| Marguerite, red and yellow | Rather intermittent, and hard work deadheading. | Feed and give another chance |
| Carnation (purple one from B&Q) | Feed and give another chance | |
| Acanthus | Doing well. | Plant out in B4 |
| Achillea | Doing very well. Quite potbound | Plant out in F1 |
| Rudbeckia | Doing well. | Plant out in F2 |
Cut back symphytum
If it was good enough for Monty Don on Gardeners World last night it’s good enough for me.
