WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2017

Here's my Erythroniun Pagoda....



Unfortunately something has eaten the flowers off one of my Erythronium Dens Canis but I've got another one coming into bud.

@Linz , I've just ordered 6 x Martagon mixed Lilies off Parkers for £2.99. I had some named ones off then before Christmas and they were the size of my hands cupped together.

 

Funnily enough, I did look at seed on eBay after looking for bulbs so wasn't too sure about buying them, have not seen seed on crocus, parkers and the like. Where did you get yours from, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Is that off the wholesale parkers?

EDIT: just seen this 5 bulbs for £3.99 Lilium Martagon Mixed 12cm+ - Species, Tiger & Unusual Lilies - Lilies - Flower Bulbs and Tubers

 

Hi Linz,

No it's out of one of their catalogues. We get sent a catalogue every month ( with a £5 voucher every 2 months ) because they class us as a loyal customer. So far this year we've probably ordered about £50 worth of bulbs/plants.


That's the offer I've ordered but we got it as a special offer. They seem to do more offers in their paper catalogues and there's always a free gift. With the last two orders we've had 10 Oriental Lilies and 8 Trailing Begonia corms free.

 

Oh ok thanks, I've got the spring catalogue here in front of me and can't see martagon in there.. been tempted by toad lillies now as well! Also, online they offering 8 asiatic lillies free with every order.

Went mother in laws and she had about 50 plug plants ordered off line delivered. She was going to plant them out, so I commandeered them and potted up in the greenhouse.

Move carnivorous plants out of greenhouse. Prick out germinated seedlings.

 

Auditor by any chance Armandii?

 

Watched the sun come up this morning and was out in the front garden at 7.00 am. Decided to take the plunge and give the newly uncovered Hydrangeas a very serious haircut each after removing lots of dead wood. They may not flower this year but we shall see Planted a Pulmonaria into one of the Belfast sinks. Strimmed half of the grass border out front. Stood and looked at the boat seat ( also newly uncovered ). First time I've seen in 2 1/2 years
