WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

I'm going to washing my lawn mower. I bought it used and it needs a little TLC. It is a push mower and judging by how easy these things are to push around, I think I'll add some racing stripes to it

I'll also be working on my rain collection tubing. It hooks up across the back of the greenhouses and the hoses have stretched causing lots of unsightly "dips". I was looking at the gutter system on the @shiney greenhouse and may even try to replace my current hoses with something similar to theirs. Don't want to waste good rain water

 

You sound like you've had your WEETABIX this morning mate ...full of energy

 

Well hubby is supposed to cut the birch tree later but it's gone quite windy here and besides the mess getting up off ours...the neighbours will be done besides

Hubby is going to see what it's like later as it's better to do it on a carm day

 

@shiney thank you...and geat minds think alike. I picked up the edging for gutters as I didn't have the space for the full size. They don't sell corners for these so I drilled a hole in the botton and made a spout out of a piece. I filled the ends with silicone.



I deserve a cuppa and some Christmas cake now

 

I decided to take advantage of the lovely weather today, rushed home from work and weeded all the annoying little bits between the patio! Still some work to be done but looking much better. Next job to put down sand to stop them creeping back!

 

Hi Centime...we get odd weeds between the slabs...I just either pull them or kill them with weed killer but like you say makes it look much better

 

Well after tea tonight while I back and front garden when the sun had disappeared...hubby went out fighting the birch tree and he was getting clipper happy ….that was soon knocked on the head and I gave instructions of course it's all done besides neighbours being cleaned up ….it's nearly filled the green bin and that's only just been emptied ….he's a gooden

 

Not much time for gardening today but did enjoy using my brand new toy, viz., a cordless hedgetrimmer. Love new gadgets! How sad is that? Ha ha,,dont care

Trimmed a holly, taxus Summergold and a dividing privet hedge. My lovely elderly neighbour, as is her style, popped over to give me a lager. Oh, picked some strawberries....enough for two persons but they looked so, so delicious that I ate the lot .
Been a glorious day.....sunshine all through. And more to come.

 

Verdun i'm surprised you haven't been sick mate mixing larger with strawberries and your not the only one who loves gadgets...my hubby is way in to trying stuff, especially if tools are involved

 

@Verdun which hedge trimmer did you buy? I'm looking around for an alternative to the petrol trimmers. They are heavy to use, especially when my arms have to be extended to their full reach.

 

We need a photo of WO using his new trimmer.
Lucius, Mine is a relative cheapo....Macalister MHTP18LI. Got discount too. Extremely lightweight. Lithium Ion battery. Whatever you go for opt for lithium ion battery. Nice Bosch hedgetrimmers out there too. Before you buy, handle it as though you were using it.
