WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

I have Paul Scarlet @ARMANDII it does pack a punch when it starts but that it doesn't flower again and the scent is nearly none existent, and vulnerable to black spot . The flowers are nice and lots of them but I do wish I bought another repeat flowering variety with more scent .

 

Thank you @Logan for the tip. I shall give them a go when I get the seeds.

 

I always have a pair with me, even in Winter as my eyes just stream in sunlight.

 

Nothing at the moment, it's too dark.

 

How do you clean your plastic plant labels @Perki ?

 

Nothing today it's frosty.

 

Mild here but damp. Been out and just started cutting old grasses back, cut the heads off the ice plants, the Michelmas daisies, echinacea etc etc. Just come in to warm my feet up as they have started to go a bit cold. Will be back out filling up the garden waste bin shortly.

 

Done some more weeding with this rockery, to be arranged rockwise at the finish.
weeds hang on for their life....not surface ones...those tree roots have to stay..here is the tree they belong to....the thickest one almost touching the electric wires far left...




Going to add some more rockery plants soon..mainly from around the garden..new plants from older ones....

 

Just got back inside. My back is killing me! Finished off the tidying up and then cut back the wisteria....gosh they don't half sting if you get whipped in the face. Then I've just given my trusty Felcos a bit of TLC....a bit of wire wool brushing, clean up, sharpen and lubricant. Best hand tool I have ever purchased.

 

Is worth going out just for the benefits...Vit D for a starters...extra movements, mine are usually unplanned but always like to go the extra mile...now where is that ointment.... Felcos need to look that up...

 

of course I know ..just had to think..well know secs...a... tears.. .

 

I use pencil for labels so I just use a rubber.

 

Haven't done anything today,the weather hasn't been that good and i just can't get motivated since Christmas.

 

Well despite still hobbling and hopping I did manage to get outside for a while this afternoon.
Watered the seedlings sown last November/ December that are in the greenhouse.

Then managed to gently remove the leaves that the breeze/ winds blow onto the beds on the east patio. Had to be very careful as so many bulbs have emerged.

Was quite cold though so really enjoyed a warming cuppa that hubs made on his return from his walk.
