What Jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2014..

Good afternoon, filled three trugs up with the last of the rubble,cut the last fence panel up,to take to the local recycling center,have masonry painted one wall in brick red,went for a lovely country walk to Higham through the corn fields,just one more wall to paint

 

Good morning just two more trips the recycling center and then dig this small area in readiness for the grass(for Mrs Woos front garden)

Mrs Woo informed yours truly that she would like the slabs removed and replaced with some grass on Her beloved front garden

 

Dips, did you know that you missed one panel?

In our front garden we've had ten Leylandii cut down and the stumps ground out. Another one in the back garden and one of our poplars had two 30ft high trunks taken down because they were dangerous.







All the smaller branches were chipped and the trunks logged and stored for a friend to pick up for his wood burner.

The woody bits


And the green bits



The area under the trees was completely full of ivy. We removed a lot of it before the stump grinding and now we have to sort through all the chippings for the bits. Most of the chippings will be sorted and then carted all the way to our compost heaps (about 300ft away).



Some will be left as mulch and I hope to go and collect horse manure to dig in. Any ideas on how much manure needed for this area? I've almost run out of compost this year so will have to wait for the new compost to mature before digging it in as well. So nothing to be done until Spring.

We now have to decide what we want to plant there. Preferably colourful and fragrant.

 

Not sure we've got space on our driveway for twenty horses!

 

Are going to put the plants in the lawn?

I'm like that all the time
