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

Hi Yvonne well maybe just a few

 

So do I, now!

 

Got a bit done today, now that the weather cleared a bit.

Planted up some planters (the long ones are to sit on the outhouse roof, and contain begonia boliviensis, the wee one at the top end has peach trailing begonias to match with the hanging basket tree which is below; the ones to the right are two troughs that will mount on the fence, tied back to back for stability until they go up - trailing petunias and pelargoniums in both)





Then it was on to planting up a couple of pouches of purple petunias to hang on the gate pillars of the driveway



My scaffolders netting arrived, but I didn't get round to sticking it up - - going to have to get my finger out though as the sprouts are getting keen



My strawberries continue to confuse me though - what would be ravaging them like this?



Lastly, I moved on around 70 begonias that were languishing in trays and just generally not doing; some were saturated, so standing with their feet wet which wouldn't help, whilst some others seemed a bit dry, and the rest - well, I have no idea

Are begonias normally petulant? Could it be too much heat or direct sunlight?

 

They are still outnumbered by dahlias - I am just a big plantaholic

I don't want to double post, but thought this worthy of a link as it shows my garden job for today

Well, I did a bit of this and a bit of that.....












By the time I had planted that lot out, my back basically gave up on me, so I started to dig the new border on the other half of the garden (you can just see part of it at the bottom right of the last picture) but I had to give up for the day as the pain was getting the better of me.

 

Thanks Jenny - funny enough, I had your words ringing in my head when I was trying to push myself to get on with the other side.

I am sat on my recliner with a medicinal B&C, and wee Smudge is cuddled up next to me, and that will be me for the night - - the odd wee wander to the loo will be about as much exercise as I get tonight.

 

Nah - bacardi or cider and cheesy wotsits.
