A Little Bit of Gardening – August Jobs

Posted on by

With August now upon us, you will probably start to notice the summer flowering plants are starting to age, with their leaves becoming yellow or fading… Our tall plants may be beginning to bend, while clump forming perennials may start growing leggy. There are a few simple maintenance jobs that we can do to keep things going, so that is what we are looking at today, the Jobs for the month of August.

A Little Bit of Gardening – Rabbit Proof

Posted on by

We have looked at many plants and kept an emphasis on coastal plants, due to our Kilkee location. However, there are many country areas within the location, with large, open spaces close to homes in these rural settings. For some of these homes, it is probably true to say that rabbits are the most serious source of plant damage and loss in the garden… So that is what I thought we could look at today, rabbit resistant plants….

A Little Bit of Gardening – Ornamental Grasses

Posted on by

Ornamental grasses have the combined attraction of elegant habit, foliage and seed heads. They are all easy to grow and can be planted individually or in groups for an immediate effect.
Mixed grasses planted for contrasting effect can make a spectacular collection, especially when inter-planted with tall herbaceous and perennial flowers. This is known as ‘Prairie Style Planting’.
So that is what I thought we could look at today, Ornamental Grasses and Prairie Style Planting…..
