Welcome to my gardening blog

flowerpot for a pillow

I hope I can share a little of what I've learned - and there is so much more to learn. Let's learn to love dandelions! and all those wildflowers that are so helpful for bees.dandelion

I love what's growing in this tray!

So many of my pots have self-seeders, it's time to repot some of them. This pot started with baptsia seedlings which don't seem to be doing well, one has died. If I want the remaining two baptisia seedlings to survive, thought I should remove the self-seedeers, esp top centre verbascum blattaria, below that fox-and-cubs and a few small primulas.

verbascum fox-and-cubs seedlings

the seedlings repotted, clockwise from left, primulas, fox-and-cubs, verbascum, unknown

primula seedlings from other pots

primula seedlings

the baptisia seedlings with lots of room now and no competition - for now, I read that baptisia dies back in winter but starts growing again in spring but not sure if the seedlings will revive but on their on in that pot will make it possible, now I just need to label

baptisia seedlings

this pot is the next to tackle

and this pot of aquilegia seedlings looks like it has some primula seedlings as well

Taraxacum vs Crepis Sept 2024

There was a lawn when I moved here last Dec 2023. I hadn't had a lawn for 30 years and wasn't about to again so started planting into it and letting it grow. Amongst the grass were lots of self-seeders even though it appeared to be quite a manicured lawn. I got bristly oxtongue, hawkweed oxtongue, ragwort, selfheal, speedwell, prickly sow thistle, willowherbs, smooth hawk's-beard, dandelions (Taraxacum) and what appeared to be beaked hawk's-beard (Crepis vesicaria) although it did not bloom this spring / summer. The beaked hawk's-beard I have seen are annuals (I think) so that confused me. When I am confused I observe, organise, document and photograph (and blog). I numbered each Taraxacum vs Cepis plant I have in my garden and photographed them. I had a stab at identifying them but I don't think some of my IDs were correct - I thought dandelions were hairless and Crepis hairy but I don't think that is correct. Will try to take photos of them monthly to see how the're changing. I am going to try to be patient and await developments and flowers in the spring.

As usual when I go to an RSPB reserve, the best plants are in the car park and around the entrance.

I saw more perennial sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis) locally yesterday. There was a butterfly on one but wasn't quick enough to take a photo.

I've struggled to photograph stone parsley (Sison amomum). It's a thin wispy plant and the flowers are tiny.

I noticed this willowherb locally with extremely long fruits. I must go back and take better photos and then hope to identify the specific willowherb species.

A new self-seeder for me: salad burnet (Sanguisorba minor), only seen it out and about, not in my own garden before. I've been watching for flowers and suddenly not only flowers but wilting ones so I missed the first flowers.

Jersey cudweed

There seems to be a lot of it around here. When I first saw it in Camden and struggled to get flowers in focus (it was in the gutter) but someone saw me taking photos and removed it - so sad people can't wait to take away a wildflower if someone takes an interest.

The honeyweed has been a great success this year. I've not grown it before but I've had lots of flowers the first year and the bees are loving it.

teasel vs bristly oxtongue

I've had teasels in my garden for years but have only had bristly oxtongue (although seen many out and about) since I moved late last year so I now have the 2 next to each other and thought it would be interesting to compare the leaves. Bristly oxtongue (Helminthotheca echioides) left, teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) right.

20-8-2024 dandelions (Taraxacum) and beaked hawk's-beards (Crepis vesicaria)

I'm numbering them so I can track their development and see if they're really dandelions or beaked hawk's-beards. I examined them all today (28-8-2024) for hairiness. I am assuming the dandelions are hairless and the Crepis hairy.  I was surprised, some I thought were dandelions I now think are Crepis veiscaria.

18-8-2024 I tried growing sunflowers from seed but they did not do very well and were eaten by slugs. I shared my few survivors. So thank goodness sunflowers self-seeded from bird seed have performed very well. One is taller than the bird feeder.

Henbane has been a star performer - lots of flowers and now I see seeds forming so will collect to sow for next year BUT it is tiny compared to what I was expecting. Some sort of annual species.

Violas - one of my favourite flowers, probably one of the first I remember as a child and I still love it even though I can now grow weird and wonderful things such as henbane (awaiting flowering of the deadly nightshade and germination of the mandrake and datura seeds).

12-8-2024 I sowed 1 packet of cosmos seeds. It seems to me the flowers in the first 2 photos are different cultivars? but I'm no expert on cosmos.

I also don't know what this one is although it looks delphinium-ish

another pot with intriguing seedlings, was supposed to be Poppy Black Magic but there are 3 that look a lot like lupins, I don't have any lupin seeds and the only lupins I had in this new garden are 2 that were decimated by slugs before any seed pods were produced so maybe the seed packet had lupins by mistake?? primula at the top, poppy top right and a tiny poppy with a bud bottom right

autumn hawkbit (Scorzoneroides autumnalis)

at this time of year, the yellow-flowered self-seeders tend to be either smooth hawk's-beard or autumn hawkbit and only examination of the flowers from the side can be definitive, (below shows smooth hawk's-beard with the 2nd row of phyllaries), this is autumn hawkbit with the top of the stem  tapered into the flower

smooth hawk's-beard (Crepis capillaris)

I moved to my current house in December, 7 months ago, and of course, I immediately started looking at the plants and taking photos. This was self-seeded at the base of a brick trough along the side of the driveway.  I thought it looked very catsear-like but not the usual hairiness.

June 2024 I see smooth hawk's-beard in bloom in that spot which I didn't immediately associate with that rosette which I had forgotten about being so busy in the back garden. Then I went back and looked at my photos and realised I had seen the earliest rosette of smooth hawk's-beard back in December.

I planted out the giant knapweed (Centaurea macrocephala) seedlings but they aren't looking great so concerned maybe I did it too soon

I found two others amongst the safflower seedlings so repotted them. I will keep them until they're a lot larger and stronger.

I also planted out the safflower seedlings - with two cats

safflower seedlings Carthamus tinctorius

it's very difficult to plant into the lawn of my new garden, where the seed tray was the grass was dying so easier to dig into so I planted those (above) but found another pot and couldn't get into the ground next to those but a pot had been to the left of the nepeta (see below) so was able to dig there and plant the safflower seedlings there
