What did you do today ?

Good job Paul you certainly keep those gardens neat.:thumb:

 

Today, Working in a nice cottadge garden some fantastic roses. Painting in the afternoon, rough old walls!



Rose Graham thomas:







Can only just roll the walls using a super long pile roller, muscle building stuff as it needs a lot of pressure.

 

Lovely location again, Pro ... :thumb:

I thought I'd do Post Office run (6kms away) and go to a few places .... stupid me ... forgot it is a public holiday (Portugal Day) so most things closed. Enjoyed the drive out with the top down (33 degrees) and did stop at a ..... sssshhhhh .... garden center and bought some things ...... :rolleyes:

Onlly 27 now so cooling down ......

 

Ummm I want that cottage!
I worked today and too knackered for the garden except for some essential watering - blistering day her in London.

 

Well been alot of mowing today and a few hedges not been in one place for long so i found it abit hot cos i had to keep getting in me nbakeing hot van lol

 

Me too, must be great at this time of year. I fancy a cream tea now.

 

I've been busy trying to do something with my inlaws front garden, there's not much there really but it's gotten into a bit of a state, they haven't been able to manage the garden for the last year or so, i have lots ideas i'd like to do,new fencing, improve the lawns, move things around, add things ect.... but it's not my garden and they're a bit stuck in their ways :(
So as i'm off work for 3 days i decided to go and do some tidying up today, it was back breaking work and i'm nowhere near finished but this is what i did today, i'm aching but i feel invigorated!!!

Had a wonderful day in the morning went out for along bike run with of my friends then in afternoon was working in one of my Ladies cottage garden was pleasure enjoyed my day but now tired .

Paul beautiful garden you were in today.

 

Went to work as usual - not fair as I'd rather be in my garden sorting it out :p
And also as usual shifting plants around - I know it's a bit late but ... I like to fiddle and there's still lots of stuff to sort out as everything is fairly newly planted.
Next thing is trying to get the lawn a bit nicer as it's been trampled and ruined and it's basically good old London clay :eek:

 

Well, we went to Peter Barratts. Left the dog at home cos it was warm & sunny and we expected to be there for a while. what a disappointment! Usually want to come away with something even if I can't afford it but didn't even want anything. Well, there was a rather nice hot tub summerhouse thing but at around £30k ........
Told they don't do solar water features anymore.

Went Asda's, no bargains there. Went next to NoFrills, got some grow bags. Last stop B & Q, got some nice stones for the corner bit of the garden.

that's it. Can't believe it. Expected hubby to come back crying instead it was nearly me, lol.

As we got indoors it started raining so couldn't get in the garden. Sun & showers at the moment.

cheers

 

bit of strimming bit long aint it lol then was mostly weeding an mowing for the rest of the day and i was given a nice sage and some mint in a couple of nice pots to :D looks great that rouxbee :thumb:

 

Vacant house job? easy work with a blade on the cleaing saw. Nasty bit of raking though!!


For me, regular maintance jobs today, nothing too intresting.

 

nope just a man whos not been well and cant manage it himself now :( i just use cord myself and then rake it off with a pitchfork :D then if need be a once over with the mower ....

 

Mutch faster with a blade even if your using a big machine.

I always used to use a blade when I was cutting Xmas tree plantions still do now for wild flower meadows. anything were the grass is real long a blade is easier as it doesnt chew the grass like cord.

 

Well it took me a hour to strimm and rake it off an i think thats quick enough lol and i used a sthil km100 dont do much work like this now if i can help it to be honest
