WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

I always do what I'm told!

 

@MrDigwell you will be relieved to know that all the DIY stuff that was going to be dumped has found a new home with a friend who is a carpenter/builder/landscaper. He emailed me this evening saying that 11 of the funny shaped (my words) hanging paraphernalia are now positioned in his shed and the great big bow saw has already been used on a job.

He also took away 13 large Stipa tenuissima (8 to a charity sensory garden and 5 to charity plant sale) together with three rather large Leycesteria formosa.

I exhausted myself mowing and edging four lawns - the digging out of the plants was done by our friend. He'll be back later in the year to dig up and split some Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus' and take them to the charity sale (it's a charity garden centre for training people with learning difficulties). I take a lot of plants there in my car but those plants are too big it.

 

Good morning another area done this morning two more areas to do and 2 new fence panels

 

Do you need a hand with them? I'm happy to pop down to do it. Fence panels can be difficult to handle on your own.

 

Morning @shiney my friend no your OK thank you I have only to slot them in to concrete posts very kind of you to offer last time I used a home made frame and some thick rope it was relatively easy really I keep the frame and rope in the shed as with 30 panels its always useful

 

You shouldn't use the word rope and my name in the same post or @MrDigwell will comment on it.

 

I'm pleased that I have been able to alleviate your shock somewhat and hope to be able to elevate the relief some more.

The lack of my DIY skills is legendary and I mitigate the shock that people feel at that sadly lacking ability by bringing enhancement to the working prospect of the artisans and craftsmen in the Shineyland environs.

I also do penance by doing work for charities in the area.

I mention all this in the hope that it may lift you out of your shock and depression and enable you to go drug free.

 

Good afternoon @shiney and don't forget your kindness to all wildlife especially rabbits that you kindly allow to reside in your garden

 

Nowadays I only speak to them when the babies are very occasionally playing on the lawn. Their very widespread multi story residence was demolished when my neighbour pulled up his patio and filled in the illegally built (no planning approval) underground warren. They have migrated to the woodland across the road. It's a much better habitat with all the amenities they could want - apart from our veggies.

 

Good afternoon just another 5 plus bags to go should finish it in the morning

@MrDigwell my friend where on earth do you get the time to write all your Gardening books
