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

Trimmed all the edges of flowerbeds and bits I can't get to with lawnmower. Mowed the front and side of the garden. Got some shelving for greenhouse and laughed at OH trying to put it together. But it looks great now and I have so much more room in there.

 

I've finally finished edging the lawn and beds in the front garden, thank goodness! My drive is 80ft long and hard work. The lawn mower will be out tomorrow as we're promised another day of sunshine.

 

Visited a local council tip, where they sell compost PAS 100 standard, it was better than any I have bought from Shed or Garden centres
Bag it yourself, 600Ltr of rich black stuff for £4.40
Fill a bag for 55p

• Up to 100 tonnes £6.30 per tonne

• Over 100 tonnes £4.20 per tonne

• Over 1000 tonnes £2.10 per tonne

Then I topped up my raised veg bed with it, just waiting for advise on if I can move leeks to complete the job

I will pay with pain in the morning though

Did some weeding. Moved an eryngium blue hobbit. Watered all my pots and seedlings.

 

Yesterday fitted some 6x1 trellis to finish off the fence,
today painting the exterior wall around our patio, one day I'm going to learn to keep my big mouth shut, I said to my boss (Mrs T) that it would look nice if the walls were painted and make it look bigger, so off she went to B&Q and got the paint.

 

I'm gonna be pricking out loads of my tomato seedlings today. I cut up 2 large Stork margarine tubs yesterday and made approx. 6o labels . I must not get them mixed up.

Have been working outside most of the day, so need to cool off a little before tackling anything in the garden.

Plan to pot up some Cosmos, Calendula, Zinnia and Coreopsis seedlings. Water what needs and if time, I have some sad looking Gallardia to plant out.

Need to plan some containers

Oh have to show you all a cold frame I knocked up last night as conservatory space is getting very limited, and SWMBO has started .......

See you later..

 

Planted out 4 rows of King Edwards, 2 rows of carrots and 2 of spring onion. Sowed some tomato seeds I received from Jenny namaste, potted up lots of Coreopsis and some more Cleome seedlings. Sowed some cucumber and sweetcorn seeds and also some sunflowers. Watered the whole garden plus all the greenhouse seedlings and collapsed in a heap. Grass needs cutting again but couldn't face it tonight. IT WILL BE WORTH IT

 

Dug up another 794 Dandelions, I'm kackered and i do not like Dandelions any more,and my back is like yours now Shiney

 

Jet washed the patio and got the patio furniture out (cue rubbish weather to arrive )
Mowed the lawn then played with little Mowgley with his new game (nerf gun bullets in the )

Then decided to use a old garden gnome as target practice instead
Watered everything in the GH

 

Well, weeded again, then cleaned the 'finally' completed greenhouse frame, ready to be moved onto base, once completed, and glass/polycarbonate to go in following that, hopefully tomorrow. I'm being very patient,but back to work next week, so patience running out slowly.
