              Dug up some baby basjoos and potted them on.
              Dug up most of the summer bedding and planted 60 odd wall flowers
              Took some coleus cuttings. Was going to mow the lawn but ran out of daylight :doh:
              Took some brug cuttings as well.
              Does anyone know why my fuchsia 'korelle' cuttings aren't rooting?

                  Hadn't been home for a month so spent the morning weeding the front garden and pulling up the annuals, cutting down the 'spent' perennials and planting 300+ bulbs. Prepare to repeat in the back garden tomorrow.

                      Yesterday, I cleared away the 'dump' corner of the back garden, finally getting the stuff away to the proper dump (final remnants of the old shed etc), and then I pressure washed that corner as it was pretty grimy.

                      That, of course, left the rest of the patio looking awful, so today I pressure washed the bulk of the rest - there is one corner left to do, but that will wait until the weekend. Then, despite telling Mrs C that I would have to wait for her to be home to move Little C's trampoline, I lost the rag with it and dragged the blighter to its new home (ex dump corner) and pressure washed it along the way.

                      Before doing all of this, I did a bit of work to the shed and as a result have now decided that my shed should be called Jordan.......

                            Hired a digger to sort out the in laws compost heap. apparently clay pots, old trowels and dog toys fit the "will compost" section.
