What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

Up at 6 am ,put the tele on and on came digital world, childrens programme, it was all about keeping our friend the slug at bay,usual egg shells,hay mulch,milk ?, but what was of interest was sandpaper collars ,I will try that round a couple of bad sufferers ,got some in the shed and I am pretty sure its available in packs at the pound shop,

 

When the Olympics are on, please Mr Shiney can we (who don't watch loads Lympics) have a virtual bonfire at the bottom of your garden? I will bring my own £2.50 stool that I bought from Asda's to sit on. And something to cook in the embers as I gaze at glowing ashes,
xx please xx

sorting out plants and pot re potting what i need to and general tidy up

also stinking my house with with a bath full of jeyes to clean everything from the greenhouse i stupidly left seedlings trays on one of the lower shelves and now having to decontaminate after blight

 

Please Lord find my neighbour (who is not interested in gardening) something to do instead of trying to chat, when i am trying to sort greenhouse drainage problems . Had to come indoors so she might move on

 

oh there is nothing worse i took to doing every thing either really really early or really really late ...... now i think about she did too after a few weeks she thought i was avoiding the sun
i have come in just to have a break from the yappy terrier that has moved in two houses up, i wouldnt mind so much but he lives outside as the yapping drove the owner crazy ......... really ????????

 

So Kaz and me can be vice presidents then,,

 

Just cut back the privets whilst its not raining. Its been too long, i filled an empty green bin to the top!

 

i am sure we can manage to be VICE presidents, we after all are able to MULTITASK

 

But nice girls on GC , such as your goodselves Pam and Kaz, don't do VICE,
