WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Watering I think ..its going to be a hot day...keeping the grass green will be my main priority.

 

That's very early to be cutting rape

 

They like something sweet

 

It is Jiffy but we don't normally get a June like this no rain here for over a month hottest June in 40yrs.

 

Hmmm...
Best laid plans of mice and men - and Welsh women!
I came back just after midday to see little activity around the wasp's nest. Upon investigation, I discovered that they had made three new entrances, and were slipping in and out of those. I can see this will be a war of attrition!
I know that my actions are in effect killing an extended, and very large!!, family. But the only other option involves also killing all the other neighbours around their underground home...

 

Sowed a few wallflower seeds into empty toilet rolls and put them in the garage where it's cooler.
I put a few seeds in each, when they come up i can thin them out to one each. That saves me time and it doesn't damage the seedlings.

 

Are they combining or swathing before they combine?

 

Hi Jiffy swathing went out years ago round here as the combine cutters got bigger there is new machinery for it but the farms i visit no farmer have bought the new equipment so just a straight cut,

They also now direct drill.

 

"Scorchio!"

Opened the tea-house door around 7.45am. It'd be over 90F in there by lunchtime and my Budweiser fridge would be struggling if I didn't.
Mist sprayed our acers after getting home from golf at around 2.00pm.
Put the lawn sprinklers on for half an hour.

I'll water the "cooking pots" on the patio later.

It's s'pposed to be like this for the next ten days.

 

Roasting here too DHR . Despite refreshing sea breeze it is very hot. Not complaining; this is what summer is all about and, yes, the days ahead are expected to be even hotter.
Staked the rest of the heleniums and dahlias...most of them are well over 5'.
Watered where sun has gone and will water again in a couple of hours.

 

Here's the latest weather forecast.

 

Yes its hot here in NI also and looking after the grass is getting to be a full time job

 

Thank you darling
