WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

The Beast From The East part two has arrived here. Too cold and too windy to do anything other than feed birds and clean/feed the outside hedgehogs. I did go and have a look at the pond. I seem to have got into the habit of doing this several times a day. Don't know why really because there's not much to see at the moment .

 

Lots of more unwelcome snow. Fed the blackbirds & robins.

 

Ha ha yes & that's just the wood pigeons !

 

Major gardening today! No don't hold your breath - I watered the four lonely plants in my one and only flower bed. Despite the occasions we've had snow here the ground has been very dry in between.

 

Broke the ice on the water butts for the birds. Transplant chilli seedlings to modules, compost has been warming up inside since Friday.

 

Walked Ozzy - who thought he was in heaven rolling in the snow and tossing it upwards with his nose
As soon as we returned home, I checked on the girls, gave them fresh water and gathered the eggs (4 today!).
One very positive aspect of the snow ... ... those stealth seedlings, sycamore, were visible! Easy peasy to quickly pull them up and call it my work out for the day: job done!

Checked on my seeds in the bathroom and happy to report most are now seedlings so I've opened the vents on the el cheapo propagator.

Not much else will happen today because I have other priorities, but at least the garden got some, albeit limited, attention

 

All indoor work .....as Its still snowing for Iceland Thats if I get any work achieved today as I've spent ALL morning on GC
Hoping to sow some more sweet peas ...sowed some in Autumn which are overwintering in the cold frame...and replant my Scented begonia tubers in hanging baskets, will obviously be kept indoors till danger of the last frost is past

 

Guess what I am doing? Raking out gardens. a new thing for me.

 

How come?

 

No gardening today. Walked the woofers and fed the birdies and broke the ice on the little pond. Still snowing now!!

 

Lovin' your Woofers!!!

 

Beauties! Love em to bits! Dotty doesn't like wearing a coat. Thought Bea could use her christmas jumper again lol

 

Mr. Barney border terrier also got in on the action.. snow beard and all
