What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

Dare I say it? Spring has finally arrived albeit a month late. Weather is forecast to be warm and sunny here all week - in the 70s - perfick for me.

Lolimac - enjoy your week off

Jenny - enjoy your outing

Jack - look after yourself mate

 

Jack...go steady mate...i think many of us work ourselves to a frazzle at this time of the year and you not being on top form aswell will certainly make things worse....take care...

PS...You haven't bust the GH have you....

 

Good morning Jack,
hope yesterday's mishap is well behind you and you are appreciating this PROMISE of warmer weather. I'll believe it when I see it. Please, slow the pace down a tad and get yourself in HOLS mode.
Take care,

 

More annuals put in today around 75 plants planted when I got in from work!
Put in salpiglossis, fuchsias and African marigolds.
Made up 5 tubs and pots with lobelia and begonia.
Just the rudbeckia, echinacea and dahlias to go ( I think)
Oh and the peppers, toms and cucumbers to go into grow bags in the greenhouse!
Oh and the canna that Pete sent me

 

After weeks and weeks of rain and two days dry, my sprinkler is out of 'mothballs'. Having a sandy soil all my newly planted young bedding plants are drying out in the ground. Also gave my lawn another watering having put granular weed and feed down.

That's all I achieved today, having been to babysit my youngest grandchild.

 

Worn me out just reading this. Sounds as though it will look pretty handsome. Looking forward to Summer piccies

 

I emptied a large trough that had some poorly looking strawberries in it.....took the plants out first and noticed hundreds (no exaggeration) of what i thought were vine weevil grubsturned out they were chaffer grubs....thankfully they were contained.....so putthe trough on the path and got the 'staff' to sort it..they were gone in a flash.....

 

Thanks Merleworld, Lolimac, and Jenny

Docs first thing thismorning
Chest infection, and blood oxygen level too low, caused a collapse

I am on strong Antibiotics and taking it easy, just a beautiful warm day in the Garden
today did nothing but plant up late some runner bean seeds, reading the daily papers, Oh and I managed to pick up an excellent collection of easy gardening five volumes for four quid, and to be honest it is what I have been looking for and mentioned on here many times,
Basically every general plant has its own full colour card, and full instructions from seed to death, what soil, when to plant, how deep to plant, what to look for, when to do the next thing Yes a childs introduction to gardening really but written for non gardening adults

Thank you al for your concerns

Oh and whilst the wilderness next door has no tennant, I took my gallons of Glysophate round, when trampling the weeds I found a crips brand new Tenner

Regards Jack McHammocklashing

 

£10 eh. Your very lucky day Jack. Hopeyou didn't rush to buy any Facebook shares

 

Glad to hear you're getting yourself sorted Jack. Gardening is like housework, it's endless, so do some and rest some! The tenner was a bonus too.

 

Once them Anti B's take hold you'll be back on track in no time Jack.... all being well you should be getting some good weather to sit and flick through your books....
Hey and £6 up after buying your books....Nice one
