What are we doing in the garden 2025

Planted the second Clematis viticella 'Kermesina' - the opposite side of our archway from the first.
Wife planted broad beans.
The first shoots are now sprouting, of the wildflower areas I seeded. That's encouraging.

 

I've been out and about today to 3 garden centres picked up a few bits - Achillea terracotta - ligularia the rocket these are just to add to existing group of plants I have to plant. I were curious about a tomato plant called Sungold super sweet as you guessed its supposed to be sweeter than Sungold we will see.

Back home I repotted a Brugmansia thrown out another failed dahlia and had a look to see if anything else will make an appearance . Didn't have much motivation to do much but somehow I got stuck into cutting and placing some stone down on another path, its not going well I've broken two already, its probably not going to look right good but better than looking at concrete and mud .

They are only stone roof flags so very thin.

 

Well the rehydrated slugs have polished off every veg seedling that had germinated.

 

Little *******s!

Sympathies to Mrs Shiney re the finger injury, @shiney. I have one myself and it really slows down progress on the simplest task out there.

 

The first tomato seeds I sowed last week have germinated. 3 seedlings so far, must crack on with more seed sowing etc.

 

No gardening today family coming to lunch.

 

That’s a lot of puss!

 

Dead heading Daffs, cleaning spent hydrangea flowers off. pulling a wayward weed as I roam about.

 

Dug over and weeded the borders, re-edged and mowed the lawn. Not much exciting today but it does look tidier!

 

What a glorious day its been . Nice sunshine and starting to get to grips with the long list of garden jobs that need doing . Last job was to , at last sow some tomato seeds.
The photos are of our apple trees , the red is a crab apple , the other single apple tree is a James Grieve which i am trying to train into a dwarf and that is easily the best blossom yield so far. The other is my cordon apples , blossom is starting to go over but again they have been a delight to the eye.
Anyway time for a drink and catch up on the posts of the last two weeks

 

I planted dozens of native primrose plants in our community Orchard this morning and then after lunch, started weeding the main bed alongside the drive. Will finish this off tomorrow as got too tired to continue. Weather permitting of course.

 

I cut back my winter flowering honeysuckle, now I can get through the back gate. It still has a few hidden flowers on it, been flowering since November.

 

Sowed yet more corn poppies in different places. How come ones come up where I haven't sown and where I have very few do? Harvested some more leeks. Still doing Ok. Continued to tackle the towering ivy growth on fruit trees. Really we have left it all far to late.
