Mis Awst 2015 /August 2015

Wel dyna ni.  Blwyddyn wedi mynd heibio ers i mi ddechra ysgrifennu'r blog yma.
Mae wedi bod yn brofiad diddorol cofnodi bywyd yn yr ardd dros y flwyddyn.
Rhai lluniau yn dangos prydferthwch natur a sut mae posib ei ffrwyno (dros dro) i wneud sioe.
Eraill yn dangos effaith amser ar goed a planhigion.
Nid yw'r ardd yn aros yn llonnydd ac ni fyddaf innau.
Ond digon yw digon a dyna ddiwedd ar y cofnodi.  Diolch am ddangos diddordeb.

This is the end of my blog.  I have recorded events within the garden over the year.  This has been an interesting exercise.  But enough is enough.  Thanks for taking the time to support me.

Amser torri blodau i arbed hadu i bob man.

 Mis Gorffennaf 2015 / July 2015

Mae digon yn mynd ymlaen yn yr ardd y mis yma.  Digon o liw, siap , maint a ffurf gwahanol i'r blodau. Amser i fwynhau ffrwyth eich llafur.

Plenty going on this month.  Borders are full of flowers in different shape, form and colour.
Take time to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Mis Mehefin / June 2015

Mae'r diwrnod hira'n agosau ac mae angen gofalu am yr ardd er mwyn ei chadw'n edrych yn dda am cyn hired a sy'n bosib.
The longest day this month, and much needs to be done in order to maintain the garden at its best for as long as possible.

Cribell felen yn y gwair (Yellow Rattle) 

Gadewch bylbiau mewn gwair hir am o leiaf 5 wythnos cyn torri'r gwair.

Where there are bulbs leave the grass for as long as 5 weeks after they have finished flowering to replenish their resources.  Yellow rattle has been added to this area to weaken the grass and allow other native species to colonise.

Mae angen tocio llwyni megis Camelia yn brydlon wedi iddynt flodeuo, er mwyn peidio colli blodau ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesa.
