WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2023

Hi,

Hard hat area @shiney They look good enough to eat; an apple pie would be nice.

Blowing a gale here too on the steep valley side; I've just visited our local post office and typical of my luck the post office section closed at 3 o'clock; ho hum everything's normal.

I spent all morning setting up our new TV but still need to learn how to connect it to a network; a five minute job for a kid these days; I'm a dinosaur.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Pulled up the cosmos now that they have finished and planted the tulip bulbs there, could have done with more bulbs but that will be for next year.

 

Nothing so far today as (a) it's been pouring down and (b) not feeling too well......but as the sun has suddenly sprung up I could maybe be temped to do a few little tasks. We'll see.

 

"What are we doing in the garden today?" .........Breast stroke mostly.

 

Probably easier on the knees.

 

Yeah, but as they say, wet weather never "floats my boat".

 

I know exactly what you mean Pete. When it's raining, my back goes out more than I do!

 

Hope that you feel better soon @Upsydaisy

 

As forecasted, lots of heavy rain again, so nothing to do but draw up a longer list of tasks. Pruning is the priority within (hopefully) the next five weeks, as I don't fancy doing it over the Christmas period!

 

Tracing wires. I've got one wire from the solar panels that must have a break somewhere and now I believe I've narrowed it down to a long underground run. I'm going to triple check because I really don't want to be digging up the lawn at this time of year.

I pulled the last of the zinnias out and discovered another Dahlia tuber while pulling things up. Bonus.

 

Hi,

I hope your luck is better than my luck CanadianLori. If it is the cable at fault can you splice a new cable onto the faulty cable and pull it through; fingers crossed you find the fault in an easier place.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Thanks @Retired , I need all the luck I can get! I know I cannot pull a wire through as it is hard packed across that run. Worse comes to worse, I'll splice a new line to the panel and then just run it hillbilly fashion on the ground, until the spring. There won't be any more mowing or any lawn work because we are down at freezing every night and the day time highs are only in the mid 40F range. So obviously not enough time for what grass is there to forgive me before it snows.
