I'm sweating like a nun in a field full of cucumbers

Actually doing some proper gardening today,haven`t felt like it before barely ticking over.
So got the scorpio electric saw out ,demolished rampant cotoneaster ,and fuchsia,taken cuttings from both to plant down outside of fence ,planted some crocosmia that some one gave me down fence as I already have some,threw out some trays of soil from failed seeds, walked to P.O. and found beautiful discarded double fuchsia in hedge ,still with soil attached so potted and having a long drink.
Fixed Clematis spiral better in ground ,it was quite tipsy and clematis not doing well either..
So had a cool off back to the fray, might cut down other side while scorpio out of box
Also noted while walking to P.O. blackberries really heavily laden ,if weather keeps up will be picking next week,its a cycle path so no car fumes just don`t pick the low ones as dogs water them, :doggiesmz:

 

Watering and weeding today.....the watering seems to be a never ending job, especially with our temperatures here.

 

After 2 days, the Sunburst collapsed and shrivelled. Took apiccie and emailed it to Hayloft with order no. details.Had a reply next morning with apology and assurance that a replacement was on its way.
WELL DONE HAYLOFT !! Excellent Customer Service,
Jenny

 

Tornados overhead,are they practicing or is it for the football in Cardiff

 

5am...picked 1/2 a dozen Blue Berries,4 strawberries and 3 raspberries and scoffed um....

 

Hiya Loli,
I've just picked and popped a warm Maskotka into my mouth,
bless his little heart

 

Sat, looked, admired and counted my blessings for a beautiful garden and glorious sunshine to enjoy the views

 

Me too Alana,
Jenny

 

Only jobs I've been doing lately is watering and gentle tending. Otherwise strictly enjoying the garden and eating outdoors often, reading in a nice shady nook, and cracking the odd bottle of champers. Banging.

 

Or.....sweating like Pavarotti in a cake shop

I can`t believe after all the rain we`ve had up here, I`ll still have to go out and water my Dahlias and other tubs shortly.
I planted some bedding stuff in the border yesterday and it was like mud

 

I presume you mean the aeroplane sort Pam.

The fuschia was a lucky find too.

 

Today I've started building something for our 2 boys. Last week we bought them a kiddie sized bench for 'their corner' (half price from B&M ), given the amount of sun this week I thought I'd knock up some shade/shelter for them, all I've spent is £3 on on some reed for the roof, all the wood and fittings I already had. This is it so far, just want to put some trellis sides on it I think and give it a lick of wood preserver;

 

just been out to feed my plants and spotted earwigs on my dahlias!! is this common and should i be worried?
