West Coast Gardens: Its raining...thank goodness.

I am almost embarrassed to say this but it has been so lovely and sunny during the day that the garden was becoming too dry. How bizarre is that? Honestly, it is a wee bit suspicious. Is all of the rain and grey dreary weather waiting for July? I sure hope not!
I have not been so very busy in the garden. I am reluctant to be too aggressive with weeding as I wish to avoid pulling out precious plants......this is experience talking here. Been there and done that way too many times. Mostly, I have been poking about and observing what is going on.
My wonderful husband took me out to http://www.southlandsnursery.com on the weekend. He takes my chatterbox, demanding child for a walk about while I peruse the stock. This is the best outing ever. My husband encourages me to buy new plants....absolute truth. Wow hey?
So I did!
A new rose to go in one of my three new pots. It is a David Austin Rose called "Huntington". It was newly planted so I had an easy time transplanting it. I did not need to soak it and I had great potting soil here at home. Seasoil of course!
I was just watching a "How to plant roses" by Botanus http://www.botanus.com/pages/Current-Episode.html that I found reassuring. I liked their idea of using Epsom salts and banana peels to add nutrients to the rose soil.
I used Epsom salts a lot last year with great success. Everything greened up beautifully and I used Epsom salts as a plant starter. It worked. huh.
Banana peels give me a moment of distress. It might attract the dreaded RATS or other vermin...rodents. I really hate rodents and cannot ever say that enough. I need to get over it but gross. ewww. shudder. I will bury the banana pieces after I have chopped them up. Problem solved. If rats come looking...my husband will come to the rescue.
My garden? Here are some pictures.
