WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

@shiney oh that's ok then, they must like your plants better.
Good about the bees, I do as well.

 

just got back from shop and accidentally bought 2 big bamboos...do you reckon it would be ok to saw this one in half to split it along a pot?

 

Gosh you sound like me @Snorky85 , so accident prone!!
I give anything a go so yes if it was mine I would.

 

Thank you @shiney yes I do have the tall alliums don't know what they are but they're purple.thanks about the Phlomis russeliana I'm always looking for different plants for the bees.

 

Planted first earlies in buckets and they are now in the GH. Sown Peas (Mangetout and Suagar Snap in modules. I have also sown Beetroot (Boltardy and Golden Burpees), Radish (Iclicle and French Breakfast), Sown Turnips (Purple Top Milan and Snowball) and potted up some Kohrabi.

Potted up my Dendrobium Orchid Keikis that I removed from my Dad's very sad one last year . Dad's is still sad ,sadly but the Keikis had rooted well....so

 

Hubby did a few more roses and I've been sorting out a border that the sage is in. Cut back some of it that's dead and trimmed the tops so it will shoot out. Also weeding it and re doing the edge of the grass and make it a bit wider.

 

thanks our mandy! well what a day its turned out to be. i just finished watering in the bamboo and another migraine struck (i had a mild one at the same time yesterday) this one has been evil-I've had 5 doses of morphine and i can just about bare it now.

anyway-this is what I was doing before that happened...planted in an old pig trough that will be hooked into the wall. it will be to stop the stalker standing and looking at me from a new angle she has found.


wish I could get out and do more gardening but cant lift my blimmin head off the pillow.

 

Oh @Snorky85 I feel your pain. I get regular migraines and just have to stop and sleep (if it allows) your bamboo looks fab. I may have to pinch your idea to hide a ugly wall. I hope you feel better soon.

I've been at the allotment over the past few days digging more beds. I swear I was a mole in a previous life. I find it very satisfying pulling out a big long couch grass root. Here's my digging progress so far on one side.

In my garden at home today I've fed the pots and sorted out a Rhododendron that the wind got.

Things in the greenhouse are looking good. Delphinium have germinated along with Alyssium and sweet peas.

 

thanks Jasmine. heads started to get bad again but just wanted to say ur lotty looks ACE! x

 

Spent my lunch hour sowing seeds for flowers.

I sowed these cosmos on 14/3 and left them on a sunny west facing window. I cannot believe how quickly they’ve come up!

£1 pack of seeds from wilkos. Makes me wanna chucks the seeds direct when the soil warms up!

 

Sowed some Cosmos this afternoon.
