What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

Finished the sockets in the greenhouse just need to remove the power from the old sockets and fit to the new ones, just need some dry weather

 

Hedges! Why do my hedges have so many sides?

Anyways, all clipped and miraculously they look rather straight. The neighbour suggested I might want to invest in an electric clipper, but then agreed that perhaps I'm not the kind of a person who can be trusted with such a tool.

Baby sparrow chicks have mastered the art of using the bird feeder, but still keep trying if the obelisk will work the same way and perch on it with a hopeful look.

Cleared the pile of massive brambles I cut down last week, smugly donning my thornproof gloves. Discovered that my T-shirt is not thornproof (should have read the small print), and decided against wearing a bikini any time soon. The scratches make quite a display with the bruises earned with my latest hobby, hula-hooping. Apparently Hula hooping is great for lower back muscles I have some troubles with, and will sculpt a tiny waist in just a matter of weeks. "And it's fun!" (No it's not, it's humiliating, hard work, and painful. And you get bruises on the midriff. )

A good day in the garden, am sore, scratched, and happy.

 

@Verdun ...... More images!!!!!!

 

Oh gosh ..thanks for reminding me @Perki ,I have lots of bulbs that I just shoved into pots after I dug them up ...must sort them out tomorrow

 

@Upsydaisy Not entirely sure if you want more images with @Verdun in a mankini, or without one, but I'm watching...

 

My oh my @Selleri ....dressed of course....if you can call a mankini such an item

 

Yesterday's hedge cut that has left me just able to lift my beers tonight.

 

Mock by all means....only a very few can carry off a mankini with dignity and class like wot I can

 

Not today it's going to rain again, should be better tomorrow.

 

I'm hoping to get a couple of my new zinc planters, planted up and a few perennials planted into the borders. Maybe some clearing of one of the areas I want to turn into a shade garden for next year.. All this is weather depending and atm, it looks like it's about to chuck it down!

 

Will continue to pull out / cut back all annoying plants that are either very battered due to the weather, are almost over now or have grown far too big.

Will also continue planting out the Hellebores, some went into the Dahlia garden yesterday but still have about 25 to plant out.

Also must sort out my bulbs , as kindly reminded by @Perki

It is actually pouring down , so will have to get kitted into my waterproofs .

 

Plant out Ipomoea, Quamoclit and other half hardy annuals. Repot a number of seed grown perennials.

 

Oops!

 

Well hopefully this will be a summer house by the end of today if I can get my a**e in gear.

 

Looks encouraging...

Ready made or DIY?

My DIY one is thirty-two years older than these photos now.

Still as good as new, as I've painted it every few years.





There's some excellent summer houses owned by contributors on here.
We're always pleased to see new ones.
