WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2022

A bit of pruning and dead heading, then planting annuals.

 

I finally finished the last of the raised patio beds yesterday and moved on to ( and will continue today) going round the garden with the remaining plants and filling in any vacant spaces with them.

My favourite summer task is now back on my daily ' to do' list...deadheading!!

Picked the first of the Blueberries yesterday and had them with yoghurt...yummy.

 

Just spent an hour with the hose, soaking myself as well as the beds

 

I built a bamboo A frame for the climbing french beans, then planted them all out and tied them to their canes.

 

Mowed the grass in the front garden, do the edges tomorrow, helped hubby get a bag of compost out of the car.

 

Bought and planted 2 lupins then read on the internet all the issues they can come with
Took all the shelving out of the greenhouse and cleaned and swept it all. Some mahoosif spiders in there and the odd snail hiding
Enjoying the fresh salads and strawberries from the allotment the moment

 

Another mediocre day and the only work I did in the garden was to deadhead the first of the Lupins and water both of the cold frames. The rain watered the rest.

 

Picked the first of the blackcurrants, watered the wallflower seedlings and did a bit of the grass edging.

 

In between keeping a beady eye on hubs up on the ladder I've managed to do a fair amount this morning.
I've been ruthless ( for me ) anything that is past it's best has either be cut right back to a crew cut ( it's the hairdresser in me resurfacing )
moved or....ditched!
It's made it much easier to find homes for the last few plants now.

I even cooked dinner...again today. Hmmm becoming a bit of a habbit...note to self..start burning things.

I'm off out to see a friend this afternoon, hubs has said he won't go up the ladder....Good thing about home security, I can keep track of what what's going on from my phone.....and give verbal warnings too.

Oh yes and the other very important thing I did in the garden this morning was....

 

Good ol, Wifey to the rescue again, helped me pot up a lot of pots ready for late summer colour. This is due to the late start in the Greenhouse area, with that being said and it all up and running things should go more smoothly. May she long have the green fingers needed to keep my plants growing.

 

@Upsydaisy my OH says I can cut the hedges and borders straight by eye because I was a hairdresser for years

Potted on 2 cacti and swept and cleaned the back patio.
Filling the bird feeders on an almost daily basis

 

Life holds many uses for our talents !!

 

Getting my daily shot of happiness straight out of the garden.

 

Potted up 4 planters with cosmos, Snapdragons and pot marigolds.
Had to take out the tulips first and put new compost in.
