WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Back from the beach .....feeling quite warm with lots of sunshine. Nice spring feeling morning
Will do some repair work on front lawn today....just a couple of areas

 

Well, hectic day one way or another.
A stint at horticultural collage, done a bit of painting (primer), got more compost, repaired part of front lawn.....scarified, levelled and top dressed (seeded too under the dressing and usually get away with it about now) and potted on some succulents received earlier....aeonium phoenix flame and echevaria zodiac. Potted on tithonia seedlings too.
Absolutely stunning day.....temp at least 12 but prob more in the garden.....and the urge to go mad in the garden is almost overwhelming me. Almost! I will be patient a tad longer

 

Patience as you tell we all @Verdun but you've achieved a fare bit...hopefully when the weather recovers better, your beauty will show a lot more

 

Thanks Gail

 

Propagating moss today.

 

Mrs S looks gorgeous!

 

Was?

 

@martin-f I be interested to see if this works, I didn't know you could propagate moss like that have you done it before ?

Snowed again last night but the warm sunshine has melted it all now but lawn wet through again. Got the Cylinder and bottom blade sharpened this week ready for when Spring arrives

Put some wooden borders in yesterday to keep the raspberries in their boundary. picked up raspberry All gold from Aldi on Tuesday, I've ordered some online but not be due till mid March. Got some more nerine bulbs while I was out and about.

More seeds arrive in the post today so got them sown, watered a lot of seedling last night and today, potted up some Chasmanthe and started to pot up the Dahlias, nice and warm in the Green House 25'C.

Picked up more Sharp sand and top soil for dressing the lawn, a couple of troughs for strawberries and a pot for the eucomis. Got some plants for mum for mothers day as well. Got a Camellia japonica from Lidl I wish they had completed naming the variety's they have for sale.

 

@ARMANDII About 2yrs back I gave loads of pots away to a public house all from garden centres as I can't stand hogging and I have 4 medium ones left as spare but two at the moment have my pampas grasses in them.

Yes it does lead from one thing to another especially with me ...I'm sure I've seen my hubbies nerves go bad as we enter them

 

Thanks for mentioning this @Perki ...that's one thing my hubby as mentioned yet ...what colour did you have

 

Hi perki i propagated a few little bits like this last year some of it has survived, i will report back later in the year.

 

@martin-f you can have all you want mate from our roof but please don't break the tiles

That's another thing that's going to need blasting off

 

Busy day today but did add a layer of soil to bottom of the pond. Had to go to Bangor earlier so popped into the garden centre to see if they had any new aquatic plants. They didn't, so may have to buy online. Exorbitant P&P costs with buying from online nurseries .
