WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

Same here too @luciusmaximus ,our lane is like a river in places.

 

Too wet to go out, so I pricked out lettuce, cabbage and sowed some spring onions. Had a tidy in the shed as I am tripping over things.

I went out sweatshirt layered with gillette, parker type hoody coat garden gloves plus joggers and boots. Garden gloves not warm but done weeding anyway for about half and hour only... I am constantly amazed how all those weeds appear so fast again..little beasts.. cold hands muddy gloves mucky boots, took me almost as long to clean up as I was out, but still worth it.

 

As we've had a few dry days I've started digging a vegetable plot. Plan to put in a raised bed.
It's hard work! But getting there.

 

Just came in for dinner, think I've done too much as my leg is incredibly painful now.

But nevertheless I am pleased that I've emptied the residents out of our large cold frame for a drink and an airing .Will get them snugly back in later this afternoon before our - temp kicks in for tonight.

Will go back soon to empty the strawberry plants and let them have a bout of fresh air too.

Please to note lots of positive signs on most of the plants/ cuttings that came from my parents garden last summer. I was worried as the timing wasn't really the best....it was a case of ' now or never' .

 

...Why ,have you got the strong winds now @shiney ??

 

All enjoying the fresh air!!


Back home and fleeced up for a -night!!

 

That's a nice lot of plants @Upsydaisy ...
