What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2020

I think, Lori, that those "little green monsters" can take months to show. I think pete said he hadn't had much success with Sarracenia seed sowing which is why he recommended you might want to buy a couple of plants instead. It's one of the reasons I buy Carnivorous Plants rather than sow seeds because of the time involved

"Trumpet Pitcher Plants
Sarracenia seed requires cold stratification. Sow the seed on to the surface of a soil mix consisting of 3 parts sphagnum moss peat: 1 part sand. The seeds will germinate over a pe- riod of several months, but can take as long as 18 months!"

I've got 24 various Sarracenia, 5 Venus Fly Traps, 4 Sun Dews, and 2 Butterworts and all have been bought in plant form rather than sowing seed as I didn't have the time stratifying etc or, to be honest, the confidence that I would have any great success

 

I didn't do what I said I would but, instead, spent two hours pressure hosing around the house after Lewis had cleaned the gutters out.

 

Good afternoon I have been looking at the 6 6ft fence panel that I put in upside down and after several hours of careful thought and planning I shall attempt to put it in the right way up tomorrow,weather permitting of course

 

Don't do it by yourself, woo, please as even one panel is heavy and awkward to lift above 6'. You might not only damage the panel but, more importantly, injure yourself.
Careful planning or not, it's safer and easier with two people doing the task.

 

Hello @ARMANDII my friend I have worked it out and will throw a rope over the branch of the apple tree which conveniently grows over the center of the fence strap the rope round the fence panel and then gently pull the panel up and turn it right way up and then lower it back in to position

 

No, it's a project that you want to do, Lori, but knowing the details of sowing and growing Sarracenia gives you a little edge while knowing how long it could take, without it putting you off, just shows that you have a great deal of determination.

 

I've done 90 minutes of pressure hosing in our mild 48F/9C climate. After a break I shall carry on.

 

Good morning I have another shed arriving Monday morning so I have pressure washed the patio this morning (3 hours) the new concrete base is now ready for the shed,have cleaned the aviary out (1 hour) I am now taking a break with a cup of coffee and then have some more perennials to cut down to ground level ( an Owls work is never done)

 

For more birds?
