Ilona's Garden Journal

In which I tell you how I fail

| | 2 Comments

Not here, on this blog. I’m not going to rewrite the whole thing. but if you are interested in my tales from the garden you might like “Garden:Fail“.

… Because I’m not perfect;)

I have also written a few things on autumn clematis and “What to do when your garden gets away from you“. I’ll write some more stuff for here in the coming weeks.

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    I’ve just read Garden fail and yep, pretty much got all the neglect and occasional ‘iffy’ decisions covered!

    My biggest ‘crime’ is not paying enough attention to the soil Ph.

    I manage to grow nice roses in limestone country but should make more effort to try and lower the alkalinity a bit. I should compost bracken, the stuff’s everywhere, I’ve read that’s a good ammendment.

    Hi Rob:)

    You,too? Then you are an experienced gardener.

    Eek, I left that one out- I lost heathers and azaleas aplenty just because I thought I could fight the soil pH. Didn’t happen.

    Bracken sounds lovely, it grows in the more Southern regions here. Nice roses are a great advantage 🙂 and your pictures of your garden- they are to die for, so lovely.
