WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2022

I haven't done anything today but yesterday I potted up some Geranium & Fuchsia cutting i had in our kitchen.
.

 

Planted 30 Crocosmia bulbs today then got back into hand weeding the shrubbery. I had a late start today as it was raining overnight and this morning.

 

I've been potting on tomatoes and other things over the weekend and Mowed the lawn with the rotary mower . Cleaned the carb on my cylinder mower yesterday and adjusted the blade but I am still not to happy with the cut at the moment . And watering it not really rained for a good couple of weeks but for a light dusting yesterday . Possible frost this week Q the wisteria is a matter of days from flowering, I'll try and protect it but I don't have high hopes.

Get well soon @mazambo .

Everyone's cutting / seedling seem to be doing well

 

Planning on doing some weeding, the left corner of the back garden looks like a jungle with the cleavers growing there and I must get to them before they go to seed.
Was going to do it yesterday but one of our dogs Barley had a upset tummy and had to keep taking him out, but he will be fine in a day or so.

 

More than a garden it looks like a nursery!

 

Busy again. The biggest task was completing the hand weeding of our shrubbery. Very satisfying task. Another couple of weeks and I will have to start at the beginning again!

 

Today I cut the grass again. Two of the three areas, as the third still has Siberian Squill flowering and I don't want to upset Putin by cutting them down too early. The CEO was planting out Cosmos as well as Fuchsia she had started as cuttings.

 

Today I sowed another Potato Bag, potted on a Tomato & Hollyhock grown from seed.

Still quite cold so my small Toms & Cucumbers are indoors in the Growhouse.

 

Not in the garden, but I've been making some Garlic Spray. It was either that or transplant another Hemp Agrimony, so I went with the lazier option! Good God, I forgot just how potent a bulb of garlic is when boiled! Had to open the kitchen door and move away at one stage...

I'm still repotting stuff that is waking up.
Planted out a Isoplexis I grew from seed last year, got 4 others to find space for.
Re earthed up my potatoes thanks to the fox digging around them every night and causing chaos in my onions.
Sat in the garden and just listened, a great time of the year for bird song,mostly black birds now I think.

 

Nothing much to do on the balcony except the usual daily chore of sweeping away the pigeon dropping. I did empty the pot of Crocuses in which a climbing Nasturtium seed had germinated. I put the Crocuses back in their pot, minus the dead & dying leaves, & hope they will survive till the autumn.

The Nasturtium I put in a ceramic pot where I expect it will be quite happy & in a few weeks time be able to climb up the chicken wire to the strings tied to the balcony railings. I wonder how long it will last till the Cabbage White butterflies lay their eggs on it?

I watered a few plants & checked on one of the variegated Geranium cutting to see if it had any roots yet. I can't see any roots coming out of the soil in the pot so I suppose I will have to be a little more patient & hope they root soon.

 

Did a lot of weeding, finished off the bed that I started on instead of starting in the corner but i'll have to do it soon.
