WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

@wiseowl I bet you can't wait...when we got rid of our lawn it was removed by a skip. my dog when he was alive started ripping it

As you can see it was lovely

​

 

Made a start on digging Bog garden hole this afternoon. Its 18" deep and approx 2ft x 2ft wide and long. I am going to make it a little bigger. Hoping to get some gardening time tomorrow. Quite tired tonight .

Good to see you back on here @Verdun I wondered where you had been all winter

 

One area i am Gail at the side of my patio im going to have a alpine border, i was hoping to get round to it this year but doubt it, ive got so many other things to do.

 

Yes you could do mate ..as I know your doing a lot

 

Been sunning myself on the Cornish riviera of course lucius .......ahem! Wettest winter on record I think

 

@Verdun , glad to see you posting again

 

Thanks Harry

 

Hello @Verdun how are you?...not seen you on for a while.

I noted all those plants you mentioned in the discussion about my front garden and needing grasses because i'm going to have to replace my bottle brushes all 5 on the front are nearly at deaths door

 

Hello Gail.
Well, grasses are a favourite of mine but dont be in a rush to remove your bottle brushes.....just yet anyway. Lots of things look dead at this time of year but recover by April.
Nothing lost by waiting a while

 

Hello @Verdun yes but I've got to like the grasses seeing those two blues now...well the ones on the front the stems are splitting open my hubby said as I won't venture out in this weather it's to cold for me and I wouldn't have plants put in till april/may I never do, i'm going to see what they're like then when the weather finally pic's up

 

Hi @CanadianLori I took a pic of my favourite Buddha in the house, it's got a glowing light

​

 

@Gail_68 I have two dwarf bottle brushes, which we bought late summer 2017. I didn't and still don't have anywhere suitable to plant them, so they are in makeshift pots - old recycling boxes . Mine got scorched by a storm and have been sat in wet compost all winter as I kept forgetting to raise the pots up. They look a little battered and worse for wear but may prevail once the weather warms. Don't give up on yours yet

 

I'm terrible @luciusmaximus for getting things out if they look done in but like I said to Verdun I never plant until april/may sometimes I have had plants put in at march when we've had some good warm weather...no I won't give up because they're my favourite plant and the care that's gone into them plus the shaping and reading on them I've done to keep them right.

 

Be careful lifting that heavy turf Woo, don't want to do yourself an injury. Have a good day
