Getting Ready For Winter ...

Good Morning!
Okay so maybe the title is a little bit more alarming than it should be! 

Earlier this week I dug up the Dahlia's and Antirrhinum's from the front border as they were looking a bit tired and I wanted to get the Winter Bedding in whilst the ground was still warm to give them a good start.


However there was 1 or 2 Dahlia's that were still looking okay so I popped them into some pots and lined them along the front of the house.


Once all the plants had been pulled out and any debris picked up I gave the ground a quick turn over ready for the new residents!


As always I like to position the plants where they are to go before planting. 
As you can see here at the back of the border will be some Wallflowers and I also planted some dwarf Narcissus bulbs at the same time which will hopefully come up next spring.


These have been joined by a row of Bellis- 'Pomponette' in the middle and some 'Primrose - Rosebud' at the front! I then added a mulch of compost over the top to add some extra nutrients to the soil and also give a neat finishing touch!


Thanks for stopping by,
HAPPY GROWING!
