I have my first flowers appearing in my hanging baskets

 

Its all right, the seats were treated with something that allows ALL stains to be removed

 

Sprayed glue all around the growbags and then sprinkled wood ash on them. Sowed Penny's Nargle Chillies, More Peas and Beans, Loli's Celeriac, Onions, Leeks, Parsnips, Italian Peppers and planted out the first Manx Marvel Tomato.

 

Well done a shiny new 10 p on its way right now

 

Should give the snails something to think about tonight, little bothers have destroyed both peas and beans Only growing them to preserve heritage varieties. No more Ne Plus Ultra Peas now

 

Got quite a bit done this weekend.

Yesterday, got the rest of the spring pruning out of the way. Forsythias, viburnums and mahonias all done, plus some rosemary, sage and bay. All put through the shredder and added to the compost heap. A bonus was the lovely scents released as I shredded the herbs and bay prunings.

Today, emptied one of the compost bins. Dug out and prepared the runner bean trench, using some of the compost from the bins. Cut and edged the lawns, finished off this evening with a bit of watering and finally, sat and relaxed in the summerhouse just listening to the birds.

 

Another perfick end to a lovely day ,
thanks for sharing Trunky,
Jenny

 

Emptied the GH ready to harden stuff off
Planted 2 out of the 4 beds on the front.
Laid all the pots out on the exotic bed to get a idea.
Planted 20 dahlias in the borders

 

Moved one honeysuckle from a pot into the ground to cover an unsightly fence. Replaced the pot (with metal obelisk) with a container friendly honeysuckle firecracker. Very small plug so unlikely to get large or flower much this year but I love the leaves regardless. Also planted out monarda roots (cobham beauty and Cambridge scarlet). I watered nematodes for slugs and have been drowning snails in beer - our garden is completely overrun. Moved some pots around into a neater location.

Otherwise, just watering, fertilising and watching! I seem to have lots of ladybird larvae, which is exciting.

Looked around for a good spot for another compost heap. Weeded and edged a bit. Moved some pansies being swamped by euphorbia. Watered everything in the popup GH. Considered scouring more moss off slabs, sat and thought about it, decided to procrastinate. Mulched tomatoes with dried grass clippings. Admired my handiwork.

 

You need to stop doing that ... IME it takes far too much time ... imagine if you didn't do that how much more you could get done. Right - on that note! I can't sit here typing all day ...
