WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2022

@Fat Controller , none of my business mate, but you seem to have one hell of a lot of seedlings going on there.
Are you sure you are going to need all those.

And, you still need more cucumbers?

 

Moved the final tub of Daffodils to the shrubbery. I planted out a tray of Wildflowers I brought on from seeds then sowed Love In The Mist and Sweet William. I then got down on my knees and continued hand weeding the shrubbery.
I am trying out some Flower Pouches and finished planting up the first one. I will see how it comes on.

 

Put the rose food on the roses and had to water it in so later I got the hose out and watered the polyanthus as well.

 

Today I potted up some Geranium & Fuchsia cutting I had been growing in our kitchen in the small window over the sink. I potted up 5/6 Fuchsias & about 9/10 Geraniums. I've now putt hem outside, inside the mini-greenhouse on the balcony table. They can stay there for a few weeks to grow on & make bigger plants before they are transplanted into the final pots they will live in during the summer.

 

Had a bit of backache after transplanting the Eupatorium cannabinum yesterday, so I took it easy and just planted a very healthy-looking Cephalaria gigantea (to its left). The Hemp Agrimony is very slowly bouncing back after being out of the ground for a while I think, I'm jotting its current status down as "in recovery, but not quite firing on all cylinders yet!" This year I'm going to try to get all the work done in my Butterfly Border by the end of May and then just sit back, chill and enjoy seeing all the pollinators frequent the plants. I made a big mistake last year and kept fiddling about with different plant positions into Summer, which turned the whole exercise into a bit of a chore, really. Gardening should primarily be FUN!

Not much so far just letting my dinner settle then I'll go out. I have put half of the seedlings out this morning but must now swap them over with the other half.



Went to a nearby GC this morning to restock my supply of Jack's Magic Compost and also bought some fertiliser too. Then drove over to my sister who had been sorting out her shed and had 40 flower pots for me......she even washed them all!
Not gardening as such but gardening related

 

Had the intention of repotting my canna lilies today but I tested positive for covid yesterday and had a really really crap night so I've just repotted my Tom's and that's it for me today I think.

 

Sorry to hear this, rest up. @mazambo

 

Thanks @Upsydaisy I intend to.

 

@mazambo hope that you feel better soon.

 

Spent most of the day at the allotment but once home watered and fed all the pots. Sown some white and blue borage seeds.

 

Sorry to hear you have come down with the virus! I hope you recover quickly & have no long lasting side effects!
