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

Got more of the bulbs out.

Ordered some top soil that will be delivered sat

Swept sand into the patio. Fully underestimated how physically demanding that would be so only half done

 

Must rig up a fan in the GH ,although opening vents and doors throughout the day mould is setting in it's so damp outside with no wind the air just isn't circulating

 

Do you mean the Dogs or the builders Shiney?

 

Well hopefully this weekend , I can lift my Cactus Dahlias and final Begonias. Tomorrow fingers crossed for dry weather so I can clear the lawn of leaves etc. Next weekend put all the patio furniture under a big cover , then jet wash the patio . That's it really for a few months
Indoor seed sowing starts end of January , chillies and sweetpeas.

 

I will be prepping and painting my shed door, planting bulbs, planting some creepers that I got reduced yesterday and raking leaves off the grass.

 

Got some of my new beds dug over and bulbs planted in them

unfortunately given myself a blister on the palm of my hand again

and the milkman had run out of topsoil so i didnt get any and still have bulbs to plant. Hoping i can find someone to take me to get some this week and i can get the last of the bulbs in asap

 

Checked plants in the GH...Ey @pete my Brugs are looking good
Sown some cress because I'm desperate

 

Cleared the last of the leaves off the lawns , planted up some "Toad Lilys" arrived today in the post , and also re checked the bottom off the pots I can pick up in the grenhouse and found 7 slugs !!!
Finally packed away my begonia tubers, all nicely ripened on the staging in the greenhouse so I have placed into brown paper bags with a squirt yellow sulphur powder on them and in the frost free garage till late March before they go in the propagator .

@Dips, does that mean you buy your milk from the garden centre?

 

Haha no I don't actually buy milk lol

My milkman is part of milk and more so if i need emergency compost they are normally alright

Let me down today tho. Tut!

 

Finally got into the garden
Cleaned out the pond
Lifted the cannas which have grown huge this year, had to leave half in the ground (not enough GH space).
Wrapped up the musa basjoo but have left the top 2 leaves out still growing

 

Raked leaves off the lawn, finished building greenhouse staging, cut down phlox and crocosmia stems, pulled a few weeds, lifted gladioli and planted the last 6 tulips I'd forgotten about! Got everything in the greenhouse organised, really happy with the staging- will post a pic on my thread.

 

Not outside but in, I've had to re-pot my houseplants again as I'd re-introduced fungal gnats by mistake!
