What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

Woo you have been busy its been raining here since 10am and still is now !!! so not a lot I can do in the garden , in fact nothing

 

same here where I am raining all day

 

and when I am back in work tomorrow it will be sunny and dry !!!

 

What am I doing in my garden today? Nothing, It,s 3C and raining an a blowing!

 

im not sure i'll get anything done today, it rained all night and is still piddly out, with a bit of luck it may dry up later and i can get a bit done but at the moment the garden is saturated

 

I decided as u can't do anything outside I'm cooking a roast gammon for my wife and kids

 

Cold wind outside this afternoon, so did some pottering about in the greenhouse.

Emptied out the three large pots of mint which sit by the back door, refilled them and replanted each one with a few pieces of root. Evicted a few sneaky slugs which were overwintering among the crocks in the bottom of the pots.

Sowed some mixed spicy leaves and rocket to provide some early salad leaves.

Had a rummage around the base of the purple sage growing behind the greenhouse and found three branches which had layered themselves, so cut them off and potted them up to provide some new plants.

 

@LyndaG ...I'll try and find the chook pic they'd definitely boss Baldrick and the cat around...

Come on Capt'n ,where's your Yorkshire grit...

@fat controller ,the leaves will be good to eat in a salad sarnie

Today before it got too wet and and the temperature dropped below 3 degrees..(you hear that Capt'n) I planted 3 Raspberry canes,moved a Rhubarb crown and stared at my home made compost.Blooming lovely it is


...

 

Went into the garden, had a look and then went back in the house for a nice cup of tea. The icy, sleety showers sort of put me off At least I had a look!

 

Had a brief moment of sunshine - which I could see wouldn't last more than about 10 minutes.
Long enough to get the pruners to my Linaria Purpurea and Linaria Canon Went. Cut away all the long tall straggly last year's growth and smiled at the fresh new shoots springing from the base. They have coped with Winter very well,

Perhaps the soil is making a difference Spruce. £65! I think I paid about £16 for mine.

 

Wow everyone's been so busy!
Today I planted three Arbutus unedo, an Amelanchier 'Obelisk' and a Cercidyphyllum japonicum, dug out more brambles and pricked out cabbage and romanesco seedlings. off to bed now as I'm pooped. Sleep tight everybody
