WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2017

I could be wrong, I hope my memory deceived me and that they were pink like yours...

 

Get a grip Scrungee , we're only 22 days into Summer

 

Yes, what was I saying??? Hehe! Well, I blame the weather or dementia!

 

Good point, nows the time to stock up with grit/salt, and not leave it till you can't get out of your drive way and everyone else is trying to buy the stuff

 

Off to Morrisons to panic buy. Just in case the weather turns.

 

Willow poles stripped and ready to take up to @willow

Hopefully that'll stop em germinating and taking over Salisbury

 

Poles put to good use in Willow's garden

Lovely afternoon doing a bit of Dad/Daught gardening bonding and drinkin tea

Sunflower was in a bit of bother

Sorted that out

We made a frame for the Saucer and cup plant

Can't remember what this one was,must have been from Shineyland..



Toms are coming on

And there's a Rose @wiseowl

 

Not done much at all today as it's been raining on and off most of the day. Also started 6 new migraine tablets and feel quite weird.

Watered the greenhouse and bought an evergreen flowering shrub (can't remember the name) from Morrisons for £2.

Also had a facebook message from Gardeners World which is a bit exciting....a few weeks ago they were asking if anyone was up for Carol Klein coming to their garden to help them out....they've asked me to contact them with my availability over the Summer! They've probably emailed lots of people but exciting nonetheless

 

Knew there was a compost heap in there somewhere

Sieved some of it out

And gave the fruit patch a top dressing

Not watered it in yet as there's a black cloud on the horizon Havin a cuppa and seeing if it comes to anything

 

Has it rained yet @Zigs ? Still dark grey clouds here but no rain.

Cut three vases full of sweet peas this morning and been cutting backand trying to tackle the awful mildew.

Just cane back from a walk along the marsworth canal and sunday lunch at a lovely pub with the doggies. On the way back i came across a man at startops reservoir with his family. He had a little dog called Ruby who he raised his fist to threatening to punch. I couldn't just stand and say nothing. He tried to deny threatening to punch his dog and i said "Explain this then" and raised my fist how he had done. He got really nasty and told me to mind my own business and his wife and kids tried to defend him. I can only imagine he is a bully to them too. I'm fuming about it. I hate to see that. People who abuse animals are absolute scum. What's worse is that other people were stood about and noone else said anything. All seems a bit odd to me. I walked off saying "I'm watching you!" I dont know why I said it but it was all i could think of at the time. It gets me so angry....at the time I felt like I could have punched him to a pulp.

 

Just felt a spit of rain then it went

Well done Snork

I pulled a bloke up on the beach who had caught a mackerel and was throwing it back in the surf and getting his dog to fetch it He couldn't see he was doing anything wrong

 

Some people don't understand the value of life. And don't deserve it.

No excuse for un necessary suffering at all....in the name of religion or anything. I'm still fuming if you hadn't already guessed.

 

Just spending 24 hours considering what is the correct way to achieve what I want to achieve. Maybe tomorrow will be better!!!!
