What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

Hi

Creeping Jenny needs to be kept warm at the moment as it will encourage them to grow and deffo bring in at night as a frost will kill them

 

Should be fine TT. I have a pieris which lived quite happily for several years in a large pot, against a north facing fence at the back of the house.
Last year I replanted it in a border against the same fence and it's still doing fine.

 

Thanks @Spruce. I've brought them onto the indoor windowsill. Hopefully they won't have to stay indoors too long (I don't really have room indoors).

 

Great! I will plant in a big trough with the hostas, I think. :-)

 

If no too cold out during the day windowsill will be fine but bring in at night

 

I think this is the must have flower this year! I've sown some too

Every single seed appears to have germinated very quickly and strongly.

Good idea ... I shall wrap black bags around the pot until I get a replacement

 

Managed to paint or creosote parts of fence ,whatever it is called today. We done the sections where the climbers will start to grow soon (clematis) .Much easier than trying to do it later on when buds are growing strongly and coming into leaf.All done now so from now on a matter of just doing it when it is sunny.

 

The chooks have got the run of the garden today - hoping they will do some weeding and slug patrol while they are at it. Had to barricade the patio so Ozzy doesn't "interfere" with them
He's making a new patio pool for me ... with his drooling as he watches the girls!

 

Finished off fixing supports to the fence for my climbers. Was ruthless with my Buddleia and gave it a good prune. Pruned my fuchsia. Cut back dead growth on some perennials - there's lots of new growth coming now .

 

Nothing outside today, It's blowing a gale out there. But I have seeded up some pots to go in the propagator in the conservatory. Tomatoes are germinating nicely. Daffs are almost bursting forth. Orchids have been fed. Now time to do some family history research. Have a great Sunday guys.

 

Made a start on the new bed for the palms to go in!
Hard work lifting turf and digging over compacted soil
Anyway 1/3 done
Trimmed back the hedges, clematis and Virginia creeper
Rain stopped play at 2.

 

Potted on Chilli's and Peppers , Evening primrose,Leonotis and shuffled plants around in the GH..

 

Snowing again, 4 inches expected. Nice and soft fluffy snow coming down.

 

Sowed the tomatoes and sweet peppers in the heated propagator.

Did a bit of general weeding and tidying up around the veg plot and cleaned out all the leaves and assorted debris from one of my 'sink ponds'.

Picked the last of the Brussels Sprouts.
