Great Western Studios: a thriving creative hub in West London
Who woulda thought?
Some plants actually need to be dug up and split every few years to keep them really healthy.If a friend has a plant you like, it can be dug up in the early Fall, or the early Spring and half of it can be replanted in your garden.
A lot of flowering shrubs can be grown either from little shoots that they put out around their base, or from clippings of their branches.I have quite a few perennials around the property that I hope to dig up this Fall and maybe add in to some of the bare spots.. That little purple-ish heuchera as well as some of the hostas all came from other gardens on the property..So here’s how progress is looking on our little perennial garden experiment so far:.
We cleared away some of the excess weeds and old, dead bits from last year, set out all the plants where we wanted them, and dug in!It was a lot of work, but really only took a few hours..
There are definitely still quite a few bare spots and the garden isn’t nearly as full as our inspiration garden, but we’re well on our way to having a respectable little slice of heaven here.
We’ll probably add in a few more things from other gardens around the property this Fall, but until then, a good fresh layer of free mulch from the recycling center will do the trick and keep things looking nice!.The crib was Kennedy’s 8 and a half years ago.
I thought about painting it, but decided I still really like the look of the wood on this one..I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to get a glider for in here later on, but for now I really like the look of this navy blue rocking chair that I stole from outside..
I wanted it to be a “baseball room” because Chris is such a huge baseball fan and I just think baseball themed stuff is really cute, but I didn’t want it to seem really tacky and cartoonish, so I just added in a few subtle baseball things here and there, mostly DIY projects.. Chris bought this ball pitched by Roy Halladay when he was on a baseball road trip this fall.It was a pretty big deal for him.
