WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Puskin it's looking good mate ...I see no messing about and getting stuck in plus I like that colour grey

Logan if your like me mate I forget all the time...it can't be as bad as when our mower went and I cut the wire

 

Got winds gusting at 50mph here right now and . Glad of the rain but front garden is taking a battering as winds s/sw so head on

 

@Kandy the do suffer greatly in hot weather, so it's good you left out some water. Hopefully it was a pregnant or nursing mum and not a hog with heat stroke. Mums tend to be quite bright and quick, just grab a snack and drink and then back to the nest. A hog moving slowly, appearing disoriented, wobbly, panting, coughing or sunbathing is sick - but I'm sure you know all this

I don't feed peanuts, mealworms or sunflower any more due to advice issued by Vale Wildlife hospital about metabolic bone disease.

 

Hope the winds aren’t to bad where you are there has been mention of power cuts !!! Stay tucked up is my advise, I feel this will pass quickly ( hope so )

 

What you mean Loki go in to hibernation

 

@Gail_68 hibernatation is my re set x

 

Here's your reset

 

With Carol away, I've had her work to do on top of my own so not much done in the garden, stuffed myself silly with strawberries ( I don't like fruit (a view that's changing) but didn't want them going to waste! )

 

We are waiting this weather to here at the Monday. Or we are praying it will come as here has been too dry almost one month and all nature is yelling some water. If winds come too, no problem.

 

Cut all the edges of the lawn and did a bit of weeding.

Want to make the borders a bit wider, but can't do it until it's rained a lot to make the ground softer.

 

I tied up some tomatoes as wind has strengthened.

 

Looks like some are experiencing some turbulent weather . Apart from gentle and welcome overnight rain it has been fine here.......and scorching again now

 

I was planning on moving the pile of slate chippings from otherside of the garage to our new extended seating area but I have injured my shoulder and have been told 'No digging or shovelling' !!!!Hubby will have to do it and dig a new flowerbed for me..not his favourite job
We are awaiting our new shed too. We removed two old sheds, a green house and a compost bunker in a mass tidy up last month. Hopefully by the end of the month it will be looking fab

 

Oh dear I hope your shoulder will be better soon. @Loopylupin

I know it's frustrating when you can't do things. How did you do it?

 

Filled the two largish pots at the front door with compost / manure, they been empty for a few days so don't want to give thefts any idea of lifting them. It took over 50 litres of compost to fill one, cost me a fortune in compost filling my pots / planters up, it worth it though. I've plonked Dahlia David Howard in the middle of each pot as a centre piece, not sure what to go with this year to fill the rest of the pot up with, I've got some tithonia plants so may try them and some trailing begonia or petunia what you think
