What are we doing in the garden 2024

We daren't attempt to do anything with our lawns ,all this rain has turned them into wetlands.

 

Yes but the biggest feet make the biggest mess Woo..the small ones are just too cute to complain about

 

Just took a few pictures of the flowers on the balcony between showers! I did some watering in the house & took more pictures!

 

Some of the pics I took today:

Colourful and sparkly through the raindrops.

 

Nothing today it's been raining again. I wander if it's too soon to pot up the gladioli corms yet.

 

Nothing today it's raining again.

 

Not in the garden but i potted up 21 gladioli corms that have started to send out roots, started off with 12.I've put them in the greenhouse for a few days because it's going to be very cold for a few nights.

 

I got an hour out on the front re-potting three Hibiscus, and a Pentas, potting a Geranium and cutting back two other Hibiscus as the promised rain did not materialise. I also got J to cut back several Iochroma branches as it is growing like wildfire. That's all that needs to be done this week.

 

Getting fed up.
cant do much in the swamp and its still raining, so wandered off into the overcrowded greenhouse and took a few citrus rootstock cuttings, they might root, might not.
Put them into the propagator that is now fired up and ready to go.

I've sowed 4 honeycomb tomato seeds, if they all come up I think that might be enough for me regarding toms for this year, I really dont eat that many to be honest.

Scraped up some Datura seed out of the mud last week and they have germinated already in the airing cupboard, its amazing how you can clean and dry off some seed and pack it away carefully unyet some that has laid exposed on the surface of the soil all winter germinates so quickly.
