WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2023

Thank you @infradig @CarolineL @pete I'll look into it and have a think

 

I had a dial one, a Jemp thermostat, but as the figures fade with age, it gets harder to set accurately .

 

When I want to alter the inkbird one i have to take it indoors and get the instructions out, otherwise I don't get anywhere, admittedly I rarely alter it.
I've got a jemp one on my propagator.

 

Nothing today the ground is still frozen.

 

Cut up branch that fell off tree earlier this week, then clear the bits of tree off the flat roof.

 

Due to our garden remaining in the shade until about 1pm during the Winter months, I can only comfortably work on it in the afternoons. I'm out all afternoon today which is a shame ( teeny tiny bit!) otherwise it would have been lovely to be out there.I can usually find something to do and there will no doubt be a corner that will have defrosted a bit.....or greenhouse tasks to do.

 

I did check on the old fuchsias in my mini greenhouse and gave them a bit of water.

 

I did have the same issue, comes with instructions translated to g de gook. However, its simple to write it down in a logical way.' Cooling' could operate a fan in hot weather, or mechanise door opening if you are really clever (tell me how!)

 

I just put my own marks on the dial.

 

Washed the glass inside the greenhouse, to much snow around yet outside to do exterior glass . Sun is out it quite warm outside and nice in the GH warm enough for a t shirt . Ordered my seeds and bulbs/tubers yesterday , I'll have to call it a do on plant spending the budget already spent for 2023, fortunately nothing is coming to mind other than possibly another geum totally tangerine .

 

Walked across the ice to open the greenhouse door this morning,
Walked across the ice to close the greenhouse door this afternoon.

 

I set up my new garden pond. My birdbath (glass) has cracked and all the water ran out.

 

Ditto for today as well! I only checked a few of the Pansies in pots on the top of the balcony railing & cut off some dead & dying stems. I also had to remove a few more plants that were dying!

 

Currently frozen outside. Young next door neighbour (male) and self declared lawn enthusiast. Came out looked at the front grass patch in disgust as he saw the badgers had ploughed several tracks in it and will no doubt ask me what the cause is when he sees me out there.

 

Again nothing today it's too cold and frozen.
