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

Cut the lawn
Weeded
Fed
Made some hanging baskets
Potted on some coleus

 

Planted some trailing begonias in planters. Planted out some osteospermums and some freesias. Dead headed the anemones and cut the bare tulip stalks. Then rain stopped play for the rest of the afternoon. The garden seems to be getting out of control with weeds, self seeded plants and plants that are huge much earlier than they should be. Not sure where I'm going to put the plants that are growing nicely in the green house. Unless I create another flower bed just for them........

 

Had a lovely lunch with my lovely family!
Braved the rain to go and water the figs and seedlings in the greenhouse. Thinking about putting a green wild flower roof on the concrete garage (?) Floated the idea and OH is 'flinging a deafun" at the moment lol!

 

Loads of potting on tonight brugmansia, cannas, fuchsias, echiums then managed to knock over a 10 pots of impatiens balsamina off the shelf all over the floor.
Did me a favour though because they looked ok on top but there were hardly any root growth
Potted them back up but just sowed some more just in case.

 

Sawed thru the rim of a steel belted radial

 

Just in case there's anyone else who didn't know what he was on about :

Sown more mixed salad leaves and corriander,bit of misting ,bit of watering and a lot of snail throwing

 

Moved an ornamental grass rootball to make room for two types of monarda to sit behind it.

Otherwise generally worrying about my hellebore silver prince as it's new leaves are flopping about all over the place following the rain.

@JackJJW ......You've got to stop worrying about your plants so much! The Hellebore will pick up, many plants get droopy leaves after rain and unless the stems have snapped they will pick up as soon as they dry off.

 

Won't be doing much unless this rain goes away. Was going to cut the grass and then plant up a few more containers. Aster seedlings are about ready for potting up too so might get that done.

 

Not much down out there today as other things took my time. I've strimmed the bank and mowed the back lawn. Oh, and filled the bird bath up for the starlings to promptly empty again.

 

Earthed up my potatoes and wrapped everything up nice and cozy ,awaiting the impending frost
