Tidying up this Weedy Border by the Pool ( Update on the Rescued Olive trees)

[@juliecumming9243]

Purple flowered plant is Perovskia aka Russian Sage I believe. It’s a great plant for the back of a border. It seems a little lost in the bed you just weeded but that might be due to camera angles. It might enjoy some support next year about 30 cm from the bottom. Was the background noise traffic or the sea? Fab job as ever Mark. Glad you were able to rescue that palm. ❤

[@mdgardenservices7819]

The back ground is the busy road! And yes I need to tie up the sage😄👍

[@HollyWiebe]

Russian sage. That rescued olive is looking great with all that new growth!!!!!

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Should have known!! Russian sage its was scented 😄

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

It always makes me smile to see a plant rescued.

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Me too 😄👍

Nice job

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Thanks!😊

[@lynnew5619]

Great tree rescue. I hope the little palm will be happier now. 👍🤞🏻

[@mdgardenservices7819]

I hope so too😊👍

[@myraholmes8702]

You certainly must enjoy these lovely gardens. They are just beautiful to see

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Yes nice place to work😊

[@ednax1]

Ha. I'm in Southern California and we'd call that Mexican sage, but I see the commenters calling it Russian sage. I'd consider those agapanthus weeds, once they go to seed you'd have them everywhere here, and that fan palm is definitely something we'd not want to encourage. They grow really fast, they're really messy, and that root ball would would start to raise the patio in about five years. Hopefully you'll have none of those issues with it.

[@mdgardenservices7819]

I guess some of it struggles a bit more in our damp climate! 😄

[@juliecumming9243]

Olives are both looking great too.❤

Thanks for the olive tree update! That second one looks ancient, really cool tree.

Yes definitely worth saving 😊

Salvia 'Blue Spires' used to be Perovskia

[@mdgardenservices7819]

😊👍

[@lilashelton535]

I know that isn’t the roar of the ocean so it must be a freeway or major road. I can’t imagine having an estate that close to the road. You certainly can’t relax outside with that noise as a background.

[@mdgardenservices7819]

No not the ocean just the road 😄

[@jeanwalker8276]

Obviously someone can!

[@carolgadles7045]

Have a wonderful weekend Mark. Garden bed weeded looks great !!

Looks great. Love Russian Sage with its silver leaves. Thanks

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Thank you😄👍

[@romadiau]

Nice tidy up. Was going to ask about that silvery plant with lilac/blue flowers. Figured it was some sort of Salvia, so happy that some commenters knew what it was. Noticed some Agapanthus in there. As a joke, my family always called them "Aggies Panties" - as kids, we thought that was hilariously naughty!

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Thanks I think most of us different funny names for things 😄👍

[@WPeardot]

Such a lovely garden. I too, love the rescues ❤ Nice clean up!!

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Sage I igree. I am so allergic to that plant but find it lovely.

[@cindybanks6844]

Thank you, so glad the old olive is still thriving. The flower beds look so much better now. Funny how it goes, I was hoping you would tell us the name of that delicate flower. Someone knew the name. Thank-you to them. Hope I can find some

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Thank you🤗

The Waggy(palm) would probably benefit from some liquid seaweed and lots of water. Great tidying up

Just wondering if you are able to get the root on the weeds when you hand pull them out? I always use a hand trowel and it seems I have better success with weeds not growing back as fast.

[@mdgardenservices7819]

Yes the roots came out well. This garden has very sandy soil😊👍

[@jaimeabreu2223]

👏👏👏 Good morning, another brilliant job. Talking about olive trees, can i give a little shave to mine? Is still a young tree and have right now some have fruits, or should i wait till next spring? At the moment doesn't look with round shape Thank you🙏🙏🙏

[@mdgardenservices7819]

It should be fine if it needs getting back in shape to give it a little trim😊👍

[@callmebeth]

How and when would I cut back my lilac? It is about 24 inches high and a wee bit woody.

[@mdgardenservices7819]

The best time is in the spring once it has flowered. Obviously if it’s cut too late in the season you end up removing the growth that will flower. However if you are not worried about the flowers for a year you can almost cut it when you like! Hope that helps 😊
