WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Don`t think we`re going to get any - not far from you, and there`s not a cloud in sight

 

Very little done today, I had to force myself to water the baskets!
I did manage to water a pot or two, that made my feel guilty by deliberately drooping, as I passed with the can
This grey, dull weather seems to have energy sapping mystical powers

 

I mowed my back lawn with my old (new to me) reel mower. Still figuring out what height I want to set.

 

Move yourself woman ….you can't let your poor plants die that's cruelty

 

I know @Gail_68 ! I've sown the seeds, pricked out, potted on, given copious amounts of tlc picked the right spots for them in the garden and now I can't get my behind off the sofa to water them
I'm such a bad plant mummy in my defence I'm used to soooo much more rain.
You've inspired me anyway, I'll be out there tomorrow giving them all a drink
Thanks for the virtual boot up the behind

 

@ARMANDII you have been going at it mate and I bet our water bills will be sky high I have one hydrangea that has to be watered midday or it starts wilting
Sounds like you have a lovely wilderness of frogs but I could just imagine your cat

 

That's what I mean you've brought plants mate and been doing them in the garden...humidity here keeps draining me out besides my health but no way will I let my plants go and on top it's not like we and members pay pea nuts for them.

Just keep blasting them

 

and wind this morning turned to and no wind this afternoon . Had to go buy hay for pets so didn't get much done in garden. Trimmed up by hand the trees I started yesterday with the long reach petrol hedge cutter. Pulled out some blanket weed from the pond. The water is still clear and there is no smell. I did forget to say earlier that, although there don't appear to be many insects, there are quite a lot of snails .


I noticed today two stripey insects similar to Hover flies buzzing back and forth across the pond. They landed on the Water Soldier several times. I think they may have possibly have been doing a mating ritual from the flight pattern and the loud buzzing. No idea what they are, will google later.

 

Cats mate...well I them as you know and if they carry green eyes it's lucky regarding cats but if you have 3 cats with green eyes very lucky or 3 cat statues with green eyes...and I have to admire your quality chesterfield the best you can buy

 

@ARMANDII I'm not really a cat person but I do like your Jenny . I think we'd get along well together

I think I'm going to restructure the surrounding area around the pond at some point as I don't think the gravel and slate look all that great. More grasses and flowers I think.

 

Lucius good on you mate still putting your garden in to order and your ponds coming along nicely besides and your grasses I see
