WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

Tidy up tomato plants, weeding, deadheading and general tidying up.

 

That's a good thing to do ! You can live your life properly for a while when you do that.

There's not much I can do in the garden at the moment, I am waiting for builders so there's going to be a mess

 

My day will be spent planting a 6 foot salix pendulous and knocking a stake in, we had one of those dwarf willows until two years ago when the rootstock took over it, hopefully this one will be more successful because I now know to remove rootstock growth and not let it grow thinking its a new willow

Saw the tree at a garden centre and changed the planting plan we had, then brought it home in the noddy car we have, that was fun, the tree, a large glazed plant pot and a few bags of manure

 

Take care @wiseowl

 

Definitely a bit of bribery Woo......or a plain old tip!
Take care x

 

But it's true, and I feel the same

 

@wiseowl I always find tea and a snack is a good enough bribe, save your money for more bark

 

Nothing today it's raining but the garden needs it.

 

My challenge today is reuse some treated logs to form a border around a gravel bed, the ones that is there now is just timber baseboards and worse for wear, I guess by the time I have done that, the sun may have dried the lawn so I can cut the grass, that is the plan, unless I am distracted by other things to do

Knew it, I would be distracted, @wiseowl you have inadvertently given me a solution to the asters we have that suffered mildew and looked awful, replace them with novae-belgii, had to look up the name but found they fit the bill ! superb
