What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

I managed to clear one lawn of leaves and filled two builders bags in the process. Of course it started to drizzle halfway through but I carried on and once back indoors the sun decided to shine.

 

Planted a big tub with daffodils, wallflowers and polyanthus. The tub was in the back garden and I wanted to move it around the front by the porch door. It was too heavy with the compost in so i got a smaller container, got nearly all the compost out and put the tub where i wanted it. Had to use a washing up bowl to fill with the compost and take it round the front, took me a few trips to fill the big tub up and that's where it's going to stay.

 

Nothing I’m working and the sun is out!

 

Nothing, its rained all night and still raining in Ramsgate

 

Not a lot today, helped Carol with the final Brug shelter, took 3 of our "babies" out for a walk, tried sorting out some pension paperwork, then took some extra strong painkillers 'cos my arthritis is back with a vengeance! Oh, did all the washing up too.

Now to bed for a snooze (I hope), and munchies with the gorgeous Amber...... (Liver Spotted Dalmatian)!

 

We had two nights of frost and going down below freezing soon so before the rain, which is forecast to happen for the next five days, I got Canuck Shineyland harvesting done

 

Beech hedge got another pruning today.
Planted some more garlic.
Made ready for the felling of a mature silver birch.
Its a lovely tree, 45 years old but it blocks the sunlight from the patio, drops its leaves in the netted pond. Causes moss on the roof because of the leaves, pollen and shading.
The wood pigeons wont be happy either.
Was tempted to fell it myself but decided on a tree surgeon instead.

 

Your right i noticed that today cutting a few branches off. The sap must have already gone back down to the roots. Wood very light in weight. Wont take long to dry for the open fire next winter.
