WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Been raining all day not done much put newspapers round roots of my chysanthemums and fetched my pumpkin indoors next week pumpkin soup yummy i never grew one before
Went to garden centre in may and they gave me a janus gros de paris pumpkin plant instead of courgette plant glad they did lol

 

We've moved the banana plants from the garden into the back room, other delicate plants have gone into the greenhouse.

We've started to clear a pathway for the "anti nasty neighbour" heras fencing that we're putting in place to protect the polytunnel, which should be arriving tomorrow (yes, she really is nasty, a total head case with OCD). Once done, I'll level of the garden and start on the polytunnel.

 

Grasses, persicarias, sanguisorbas, salvias, verbena bonariensis, thalictrums are all great perennials for height, movement and privacy Snorky

No gardening......too showery for that anyway but fun n games at the audi showroom. I know the games the salesman play ....they hate the haggling that I am pretty good at so I kept the guy in check. Test drove Q3, TT convertible and Q2. For my niece but the convertible was tempting (for me :rasp

 

In between brewing 40L of beer I emptied another bulk bag of chippings on the arid bed to be, dug out a red spikey bush (not sure what it was called), planted the two Nolina and potted on a yucca whipplei seedling that is racing away after taking 4 months to germinate. Hopefully more of the seeds will germinate soon.

 

It's been raining all day and 33f so I only planted in a Rose of sharoon that had been given me.

Took grandkids to have a junk food lunch and then to a halloween warehouse place. And after, my son gave me a tour of his kndoor growing area. His wife is thrilled with always having fresh cut flowers and I am totally impressed with his setup. I had donated a couple of HPS lights and he has put tnem to good use! Reminds me I'd better go down to my cellar and water my plants.

 

C,Lori luv. Forgive me, no offence meant but I have had a really boring day. Reading your message woke up the devil inside me.

Thak heavens someone is still using real temperatures. Now this Rose of Sharoon. Is that some new Scottish variety. Now down to your cellar. So. Do you grow a lot of musrooms?????????????????????
As I say. No offence meant. Take care and enjoy your garden. xx Mike.

 

Rose of Sharon is a hybiscus

 

Hope everyone remembered to turn clocks back last night :rasp:
Sunny, breezy and cold this morning........looks like more leaf gathering today

 

Just taking a break from cutting one of the hedges. Not my favourite job in the garden

 

@Mike Allen sometimes these tablets create their own version of what I meant to type... or it's my fault for typing with my knuckles.

Just finished potting up some snapdragons. Yes. Snapdragons. My son gave me a pot of them that he has nurtured for more than a year and I am taking good care of them so as not to hurt his feelings. He is so proud of his green thumb.

I've got the snapdragons, a couple of types of basil and some other plants down in the cellar. And during the commercial breaks, I shall be picking some more hot peppers in the greenhouse. The breaks are a good 6 minutes long so lots can be accomplished over tne next tnree hours of my Corrie morning.

 

@ARMANDII go back three more hours and then we'll be in the same time zone!

 

Good thinking ARMANDII......always best to make sure :rasp:
Beautiful day, temp about 11, maybe more.
Grass cut, boundary hedges cut, leaves swepped. Will be cold later but another fine day tomorrow so
