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

"One is left handed" I think you mean

 

Earlier, I mowed the back lawn even though it was already ok. Then surveryed the whole back garden and despaired at the state of it, with slug nibbled plants in the borders, general mess.

Later this morning I'll be out there preparing for my first major barbie since we bought the place just over 2 years ago. All the guests have seen the garden several times, yet somehow, because its the first major barbie here, it somehow feels like the grand opening and I'm actually nervous as hell about it.

 

Sounds like a bit of stage fright Clueless and those on the stage usually say it's a good omen to feel nervous. I'm sure you will be fine, the barbie will be fine and your guests probably won't even notice the garden. Enjoy it!

 

A gorgeous day and then evening for that BBQ tonight. Enjoy yourself, all of your guests will. They've come for a bit of fun and laughter to go with your lovely grub.
Best of luck,
Jenny

 

Did some seed collecting yesterday (including some from the wonderful Blue Pea and the Lychnis Vesuvius) and a touch of weeding, too warm for anything else..............so no more wood work done

 

Bilbo, my Blue pea display was quite short lived - was yours?. I tried to ensure that I didn't allow pods to form but it was so dense, I'm sure I missed some and therefore it packed up.

 

And also Dame Loli

Have a great BBQ Clueless....make sure you enjoy yourself as much as everyone else

Hi Jenny, yes they were quite short lived, I did purposely leave some seed on so I would have some for next year but dead headed the rest. I also kept well watered, but in the end it started withering away and got mildew so I collected the seed yesterday and chopped it up and composted it

 

Looking forward to a good potter today,plenty to do..... Bilbo you've just reminded me of another job...collecting seeds is now also on my list

 

I've been to B&Q and bought some planters, then potted up a couple of azaleas. Probably not gonna do much more gardening wise (might mow the lawn later) but I do need to do some repairs on my flat roof. Not doing it yet though because the Clampetts behind me have got their outside speakers on again so it's too noisy

 

I will cut the grass later but need to sharpen the mower blade first ,not happy last 2 cuts.
