What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2020

If I had to guess where it is I would say it was up the left hand fork of the second tree from the right.

 

Still moving the sprinkler around the garden as the rumours of promised rain were lies! Picked a load more rhubarb and shall deliver it later. Swept the pergola and car port - which is a long job because of all the things in the way.

 

The vents in the Green House were wide open by the time I managed to open the door and, although it only reached 62f, it felt really warm helped by the fact that there was no breeze to speak of. I planted a Centaurea in the small border by the Green House and a Knautia on the East side of the "walk around" border. I also cut back a really large clump of Hellebores so that I could plant 3 Nectorscordums close to it and then planted a Clematis Taiga and a Clematis Avante Garde by the Trellis Entrance to the Garden. I then used 4 Watering Cans to feed/water the now 60 or so Bearded Iris in the large pots on the wooden two tier bench, and along it, and then refilled the Watering Cans with a weak solution of organic feed again.
After that I had a sit on the Patio with a Mug of Tea and soaked up the warmth while listening to the Birds and watching them on the Bird Feeders Then, grabbing the Hand Saw, I headed down to the bottom of the garden to try to cut back/prune the yellow flowered Buddleja which I wasn't able to cut back last year. It was, actually, easier than I thought it would be but disentangling the top growth from the Shrubs on either side. and while pulling and tugging at the severed branches of Buddleja out of the other Shrubs I kept jostling against a Thuja Boulevard which just showered me in spikes of dead foliage which managed to get down my neck, inside my T-shirt, sticking to my clothes, and laying a carpet of it on and in my hair.. So, after finishing the job, I shook myself down, headed for the House and a Shower. I had to dump all the clothing I was wearing into the Wash Basket and get new, clean clothing to wear for the rest of the day.
In the meantime a large Incinerator was delivered and left on the doorstep so, before heading for the Shower, I dragged it around to the side passage of the House as a job for tomorrow.
