Moosey News : September 2011
Dear Subscriber,
More and more spring delights keep appearing in my garden (along with the weeds, but we won't mention them). And each week brings out more gardening plans, both great and small. When will it all end? How long is a piece of string? I love my garden so much at this time of the year.

This month's features
1. Spring Camellias
This year my Camellias have been noticeably more beautiful than ever. Well, I think so...
2. The Moosey Guide to Garden Gnomes
This article should be subtitled 'Can a Garden Have Too many Gnomes?'. Please don't answer that silly question...
3. Yellow or Beige?
Let's hear it for a beautiful beige Camellia called Jury's Yellow...
4. Rip Van Winkle Daffodil
Meet the little daffodil with bright yellow bed hair.
5. A Cottage Garden?
Well, it's the beginnings of a tiny garden around my cottage by the pond...

6. Plant of the Month : Golden Tribute Rose
A beautiful rose for world peace and remembrance.
7. Animal of the Month : Fluff-Fluff - a Norwegian Forest Cat?
Poor Fluff-Fluff. Ever since Non-Gardening Partner saw a picture of a Norwegian Forest Cat he's decided that FF is one such. So shouldn't a pedigree cat get posh cat snacks, then?
8. Garden Quote : Seeing Things
Or what happens when I open my gardening eyes wide...
9. Garden Gallery : Pink Roses on Archways
Pink roses thrive and flower profusely on their archways in the Hazelnut Orchard. I'm looking forward to their pinkness this coming summer. Please be as beautiful as you were in this 2009 photograph!
10. Forum Focus : So Sorry, So Busy...
The Moosey Forums have been super-quiet of late. But we're all still there, even if in spirit! Pop in and say hello.
11. Gardening Advice : Watering Pots
Pots are like people...
12. Searching for Moosey : warm wool merino
- warm wool merino
- Hope this searcher wasn't looking for fashion garments, because all I can offer is the real thing. Meet this year's merino ewe with her twin lambs (both boys, unfortunately). Charles the ram is even in the photograph.
13. Coming up this month : Mid-Spring, when I welcome the Rhododendrons.
And the first irises, and the Aquilegias, and... So many garden things to look forward to! Hope you're enjoying your garden, whether it's winding up or down.
Cheers,
