What Jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2014..

Lol me too



Too frosty so back in bed for a while

 

Don't know how this will come out but i dug out a flower bed the other day (4m x 5m) and being clay i leveled it off with top soil. I went out today on a hunt for leaves and came back with 6 bags full which i used to cover the top soil. I have a bag of nutrients specifically for soil and spread on top of the leaves. I hosed the leaves down and covered the whole bed in sheets of card board. When the weather brightens up, i'll mow the lawn and chuck some of the grass cuttings on top of the cardboard, just to make it look a bit more organic. I'll turn it over in Spring, so i'm interested to see how this turns out

Marking out the new flower bed with a water hose.



Finished turning the clay soil



Covering in leaf mulch



This is the stuff i'm using to add some nutrients to the soil. Hope its the right stuff



Not a pretty sight but the whole flower bed is covered in sheet mulch. As soon as i get some grass cuttings i'll spread it on top for a more aesthetic look

Opened the GH doors slightly and the vents on the propagators, gave the young plants a light mist with camomile tea then closed the doors on the GH and closed the vents on the propagators

 

Snowing, no jobs to do today.

 

Finished the last bit of widening the lavender hedge bed and hung up bunting

Didnt fancy planting bulbs in the drizzle so hopefully can do that tomorrow weather depending

 

Pruned back part of a Hebe hedge that was growing beyond a gate post on my drive (don't want the car scratched) and then weeded the rose bed.

 

Nothing, rained most of the day then ground was too claggy to do anything with when it stopped. Meant to be dry for the rest of the week so hopefully can get more stuff done then

 

looked out of the window and dreamed of what i will do in the spring
