WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

There's still things that need doing, like cutting the old blackberry canes and tying in the new. Also the Loganberries and just sweeping the leaves from the patio. But still recovering from the cataract surgery until the weekend.

 

There isn't anywhere else I can put it and I refuse to give up my runner bean patch for it. It'll have to go unfortunately. Thanks for your opinion Perki.

 

Nothing much as I'm having an achy day but I did do some greenhouse chores and also lightly watered some plants that needed it and Winter fed the 5 citrus plants.

 

I've got some Japanese Anemones in a pot - and was going to plant out. Should I hold back there? How thuggish are they?

 

They can be very rampant but it depends on if they like the conditions, free draining loamy / sandy soil would make them happy . I had a white variety Hororine jobert planted in clay / loamy soil in shade and it didn't spread at all but it wasn't the best pleased planted in these conditions I ended up removing it and replacing with something else .

 

Nothing again today, ear infection is still bad, wife phoned the surgery to see if they could put another prescription of antibiotics for me as the other lot hasn’t worked. Dr phoned back asking me to go to the surgery, just arrived home, I’ve perforated the ear drum , more tablets again and referral to ENT

 

Goodness Lem, how did you perforate the ear drum. Hope the meds work and the appointment goes well.

 

To be honest Victoria I think they mis diagnosed me last week, hope these meds do something, I’ll be glad for some relief, it’s been terrible

Hi Loofah , sorry to hear you’ve suffered the same, alls fine now I hope , your right about the pain its intense, it’s been bleeding a lot today, and that told me somethings not right, don’t know what sleep is like anymore

 

Can get a perforated ear drum from a ear infection, or had a blow to the head or poked a cotton bud in the ear.
Hope that you feel better soon @Lem

 

Thanks @Logan , doctor said it could have been the infection that caused it, wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy

 

One branch on the flat roof, as soon as it's light enough and I've had a couple of pints of tea, I'll have a check round outside for any damage to the fences etc, unless it's urgent won't get sorted until tomorrow though.

 

Nothing it's snowing.

 

@Lem how are you feeling today?
