What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

I only had a few, though they were all quite big, three around two feet in length. They went to a good home early this year when I closed down the pool due to a serious leak. It was easier to fill it in than replace the liner.

 

That looks great, I had a pond here at home but my old Newfoundland had a habit of jumping in the pond so I had to fill it in.
I have another larger pond that’s got tench, carp, perch, roach and some chub. No harm in my old Newfie having a swim which he loved.
I’ve gone from a 70kg bear to a crazy Tibetan whose 8.5kg and yet she loves water too!

 

Been busy ARMANDII.....keeps you out of mischief :rasp:

 

Dead heading ,watering,sweeping...my old Dad always said one of the best tools in the garden is a broom and so underated ..

 

Too tired yesterday due to three days with not enough sleep to do much arty stuff so decided I would spend some time in the garden. I did make several Fat Rabbit items ( which I'm really pleased with ) in the morning. Then set up one of my free compost bins. I had to drag two large pots out first and remove some turf before siting to bin. Also lined the area with some spent compost from the pots and cut back some long grass. Rest of compost is dumped in front garden until I figure out where to put it. Put the first layer into the compost bin. Moved my fuschia a few feet from it's original position to give a better view into the garden from the conservatory. It's grown really big this year. Had a look at the pond and removed more blanket weed. Decided too tired for removing remaining pond plants and repotting and tidying up pond in general. Had a walk on the beach instead. Strong winds made me even more tired but still enjoyed the walk. Heavy rain in the evening .

I saw the remaining baby bunny yesterday morning. He/she has grown . Very sadly one of the robins has a damaged/ broken foot . Was hobbling on it for a few days but not able to walk at all. I tried to catch it but he can still fly.

 

So hot, my back up pores are leaking. just clipped lots of spent hosta stalks. pruning some shrubs and magnolia. then back in the air conditioning.

 

2 lawns, both slope work cut and I’ve just finished working for a lady near me who who’s garden is overgrown. Half way through I got terrible cramps in my legs and I thought what a silly billy I am pushing myself.
Just had a refreshing dip in cold water, ahhh it’s lovely. Job cancelled for Wednesday and with some luck I’ll be able to beat the heat for the rest of the week.

 

Well, nothing in the garden as I’ve just got back.
I did mow my niece’s lawn again as I passed by

Still overcast but very warm indeed....the odd blue sky promises something very nice later.

The heat is draining liz the pot....that cool dip sounds about ideal And hotter day by day now too for the week ahead

 

I know, I wish I was younger
The Cornwall break is getting closer too. Keep looking at properties and thinking it’s so nice and friendly down there.

 

Yes, and you can do my lawn Liz the pot :rasp:
