WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2022

Thanks....it all comes down to what surgery was undertaken, I had to have the surgery.

 

I love your sense of humour Selleri and could picture your kitchen, sort of thing I would have done before I had my greenhouse, I often have to take potluck when sowing some of my seeds, you can guarantee I lose labels or upend a couple of trays before I've transplanted them even after all these years , its still exciting waiting to see what I end up with...Your windowsill sounds very busy, trying to juggle everything around sounds like an adventure full of determination...Well done ...

 

Argh never!! Housework between 8- I0 am most days as a little every day keeps on top of it. It's normally too early to do any gardening at that time and soon I hope to resumed my 3-4mile walks in the morning too. When summer comes it will be the coolest part of the day, then gardening afternoons and early evenings again soon I hope.

 

I' ve had arthritis for over 40 years now....but as it stands I won't be having replacements. It runs in our family my brother is severely disabled with RA and has had all his major joints either fused or replaced, my Mum and sister have had replacements too......sadly never the same again mobility wise but had/ have less pain . If you go for replacements you can't expected to kneel afterwards, you should be made aware of this before surgery.

Anyway back on topic now, otherwise we'll get scolded.

 

Sounds like you enjoyed a good evening all round!

 

Oops!! sorry , shall I try and delete ...Actually they would have to as I haven't yet learnt how to...

 

I thinned out the nicotiana sylvestris seedlings as I'd been very heavy handed with my sowing.

Also sowed some tomatoes and dahlias.

 

No , it was as much me too!! ...let's just fade into the background.

 

I did delete one..

 

Planted some plants that I've been growing on in the greenhouse over the winter, potted on a full tray of pansies, there are hundreds so I've cheated and used troughs, I will thin them out more as they get bigger, seeds were saved from last years plants, repotted some pelargoniums and removed dead leaves, also gave them a drop of water, first time this year, tidied up the succulents and transplanted a few of the babies, they too needed a drink, removed rubbish from g'house bin, then tried moving things around to make a bit more room, that didn't work...Well earned coffee on the patio afterwards in the sunshine...

 

I do the vaccuming in the mornings when hubby has gone shopping and yes housework in the morning and gardening in the afternoon, got more time then.

 

Last year thought we lost one of our blueberry plant, so I cut it back and now a shoot has started to grow. Going to have to do some of the others.

 

Sown some Aquilegia Lime sorbet and Bunny tail grass.
Filled up the bird feeders and had to water the new roses as it's been dry here all week and windy.

Clematis are putting some fab new growth on

 

Blueberries seem to be pretty resilient, Logan. Give it time, it should fruit again successfully with the re-generation. 3-D’d and top-dressed all mine today, which I’ve kept in pots so they get the full ericaceous treatment. All 8 of them fruit pretty well after chopping down for new growth.
