What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK2..

garage done and lunch eaten, just stopped raining and butts and buckets nice and full again, going down to the CLEAN and ORGANISED garage now to sow some seeds for new years flowers

 

Int it great when you get everything in order Kaz...you know what 'they' say....tidy life tidy mind........but that doesn't apply to me....my mind is always in chaos

 

scrub that garage is messy again ...... daughter phoned and asked me to pop over to hers to put up a fence and gate ...... they have a fence and NOTHING just a fence !!!!
back over to mine get all tools out that i need, make a gate, cut some posts, find some fixing for gate( i dont have any hinges )
Daughter txt to say she also wants to make a bin area next to the fence separate from the kids area so maybe i can put up her planter and trellis as a screen to hide the bins,
i knew i should have taken i PHOTO

 

mine too lol

 

Kazzie,
those Crocosmia supports are doing the job superbly just like the old Playtex bra ( showin' me age again).
take care of your body too,
Jenny

 

Kazzie
What a lovely border - your hard work is certainly paying off.
After the torrents of rain here I've been tidying and I found this daisy smiling up at me

 

Fed tomatoes and beans in between rain downpours ,thats it for today

 

....
Got any' forkhandels' Shiney...
I know it's an old one ....but they are the best

 

just watered the green house i think the garden and plot are wet enough,

 

I was out most of today, but when I got back I stripped a lot of leaves off my tomato plants to let the sun through...........sun that's a bit of a joke really! I also took a couple of shots in the garden.

Dwarf Sunflower 'Waooh!' and Nicotiana that even with the bad weather have come up trumps this summer.

 

wow a nice bit of colour on such a grey evening thanks sheal i needed that

 

Well today I knocked something up for the wildlife (especially hedgehogs) out of some scrap wood I had left. A mini log shed with 'hog' house at the bottom, just need to get the logs from my dad to fill it; the bottom is filled with hay and dry leaves.

I have also made an entance just below the roof at back so birds such as wrens and robins will have access to nest amongst the logs.

I made one of these a few years ago in my mum's garden and it was very successful, seeing hedgehogs using it and having young in it was brilliant, also had a wren nest in it and mice

Again this has cost nothing, all the wood came from freecycle..
