I always think of Autumn as the start of the gardening year, it is one of the busiest times of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A painful back and hip is the last thing a gardener needs just now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had started planting some of the 'many' tulip bulbs purchased and then the order of bare root roses were delivered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have been stored, still in their packaging, in the summer house for a few days whilst the gardener and the weather improves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was that day!</div>

...and four shrub roses.<br />
<br />
When I originally planted the garden in 2004 there were two standard roses in the front garden which I moved to join two new ones in the main border, now christened The Blue Border.<br />
Sadly they didn't perform too well, they were quite old roses and were eventually removed.<br />
I have always thought the bed lacked the symmetry ( very designer speak ) that having four standard roses provided in the border, not to mention colour.<br />
I decided this summer to plant again, two more standard roses joining, R. Worcestershire, a weeping standard and R. Bonica Std.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new standard roses are Wisley 2008...<br />

The shrub roses are R. William and Catherine, a white rose that does not grow too tall. They are destined for the White and Green garden, to compliment the climbing rose, 'Iceberg', which is trained along the dividing fence in this garden. <br />

<strong>This Year’s Show 2016</strong></h3>
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1.1200000047683716px; text-align: justify;">
We hope you are looking forward to one of the major social events in the village calendar, as we start the preparations for the show once again. This year we have a number of categories to celebrate our village, both in the photography, and literature, we do hope you find this interesting to challenge your talents.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1.1200000047683716px; text-align: justify;">
The Plant Stall will be here again this year, where we sell donated plants and produce. So if you have any surplus produce from your garden, or spare plants you don’t want to overwinter, your donations would be very welcome. These can be left at the Village Hall on either the Friday afternoon or the Saturday morning of the show.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1.1200000047683716px; text-align: justify;">
We will have the local group of musician’s back, 4Tunes, to provide us with some music to entertain; they gave such a lovely atmosphere to last year’s show. After the success of the limerick last year, we are keeping with the poetry theme, but asking for a simple poem about The Hanleys. Anything that inspires you about our beautiful village, be it social, humorous, or the countryside. Whatever represents our village life.</div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1.1200000047683716px; text-align: justify;">
The annual clear out of your garage and loft is as popular as ever. The costs is £7 a boot. Access to the field on Saturday for Car Boots is from <span style="text-decoration: underline;">12.00 onwards</span> – but please remember the show itself opens at 1.30 pm.</div>

I hope you enjoyed Summer Tour Part 1, of Our Garden@19, if you haven't seen it just scroll down to below this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the plants in Part 2 are either annuals bought or grown from seed also some perennials that I have grown from seed. The majority of my seeds come from either Chiltern Seeds or Sarah Raven, I do also save some seeds from Our Garden@19.</div>

The first to greet you on the patio is a pair of planters with Rudbeckia 'Toto Rustic', it proved very difficult to keep alive as seedlings, wilting off, they are now beginning to prove their worth. Along- side are buckets of violas, behind, growing in an old tin bath is Fuchsia 'Mrs Popple'...</div>
