Garden Diary 日记 [2006年10月30日] Sunny

Things we have done in the garden this weekend, before the threatened frost finally came.

1. Divided the two chive plant into six and planted them out

2. Cut down the parasitic ivy-ish plant that's suffocating our hawthorn. It was hard work from AhNiu and a success. We found another bird nest on one of the branches. It's the 7th nest discovered this year, if my memory is anything to go by. However, in the process of taking of the parasite, one main branch of the hawthorn came down and it's covering the lawn. Shame, but it should grow out again next year.

3. Dug the cannas and aubergine up, cut top growth and put in some neutral compost, ready to put away in the shed for the winter.

4. Broadened the border a bit to 75cm from the fence. Can't wait to try it out next year.

5. Planted the garlic (during the week, actually). My parents were here and Mum planted garlic with me last year, so I was thinking of Mum when I was planting the garlics.

6. Bought some bulbs and wallflower ready for next year's show.

总结一下这个周末在花园里干的活:

1。将园里的两棵欧韭分开成六株

2。将山楂树上过分曼生的寄生藤处理了。过程中还发现了一个空鸟窝,今年在整理花园其间已经发现了七个鸟窝啦,想象从中飞出过多少小小鸟呢?

3。将美人蕉和茄子转到盆里,准备过冬。也不知道茄子过冬会不会成功,试一试吧

4。略拓宽了栅栏前的那一小片地,明年也许能种多些玉米

5。前两天种了蒜下去,现在已经发芽了。很快有青蒜吃啦。去年是妈妈和我一起种的蒜呢。

6。今天下午去买了些桂竹和风信子化球。准备来年春天的展示啊。
