WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Sowed some Demon Red and Tepin chilli seeds.

Pricked out some Sunflowers and Marigolds.

Started making another heated propagator.

 

CHEERIOS DONUT SEEDS
Have fun with your kids this April Fools with "donut seeds".This is actually a bag of Cheerios, the perfect gag gift for any donut-loving gardener in your life.

 

Thanks kazzawazza.....I will get some; I am so excited

 

Been a productive afternoon in the GH, lots of seedling pricked out and potted on. Fuchsia and pelargonium cutting potted on and more seeds sown. windowsills mostly full, hopefully I will move some in the GH this week.

 

Cleaned the greenhouse on Sunday, so tonight I have put the staging up and started sowing seeds. Sown French marigolds, Dalia Bishops Children, Sunflowers, Cosmos and Runner Beans. Potted on some Aquilegia I sowed in modules last year and potted on some Achillea and Echinacea that were over wintered in small pots just to give them a bit of a boost before planting out.

@Verdun how was your new woofers first walk?

Now I have a tidy shed and greenhouse I'm finally going to pot on and prick out lol. First I've got to make myself a huge mug of tea to take with me

He was a total dream .

 

Been watering in the greenhouse and checking things over. Lost 3 or 4 dahlias, now got an excuse to try a couple of new ones, the others are starting into growth. Also lost an Arisaema that I was overwintering in a pot got too wet.

 

Sorry to read that ... any ideas why?
I have some on a windowsill in my house (North facing) and they are flourishing right now .. would hate to lose them ... even sprinkled some cinnamon grounds on them this evening (heard it has a beneficial effect on any mould which may occur?_

 

Spent a hour on my stump late on this afternoon had to get my chopper out just a big root on the other side to chop out, ive got a nice pile of topsoil and found some nice stones amongst the rubble that will be used somewhere in the garden .

 

Thank goodness your stump benefitted from your chopper is all I can say!

Not really, possibly they were still wet when I put them away.

 

Planning tomorrow's purchases as we begin to build the new flower beds. When bought at the amount we'll need, the local garden centre's own brand MPC works out £4 and change less than Westland MPC With John Innes. Is the Westland one worth the extra money?

 

Ah, ok ... so these were ones you were storing over winter? Thank you for clarifying Best of luck with the new ones you are trying, I'll keep my for you
