What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

You'll be needing a walking stick then , luckily your sorted for a good source of ash wood

 

Got the rest of the brugs, cannas, hedychuims, nicotania sylvestris, amaranthus, salvia, musas, ensete, 3 sorts of Ricinus in
Still a 2 dozen plants or so find a home for

 

Watered everything in the greenhouse, squished a few bugs and did some deadheading. Soon be time to plant out all the annuals in the greenhouse. Might do some tomorrow after work.

 

Spraying my main Dahlia with weedkiller thinking it was aphid spray

Doused it with three watering cans of water immediately...

 

Today, I ave been mostly watering things and getting stung

 

Ooops, hope it survives

 

Planting out in the polytunnel with sweat dripping off my nose

 

Created a corner bed, behind the new trellis screen, in the "Utility" area. I had a pot which contained two hebes and rosa rugosa; they were my experimental "cuttings" from a couple of years ago. They are quite a size now and have filled the space in the new bed sufficiently enough that they look "at home" rather than little squirts in a big bed Also planted one of my honeysuckle cuttings I took last year from my old garden - that's now hugging the corner.
So, a bed based purely on plants I had taken cuttings of from my previous home: very satisfying!

 

finished weeding the lavender beds and then weeded half the big bed in the garden

tied in the sweet peas again and relocated a fern and jasmine

 

The "joy" of keeping a good lawn only for the local cats and foxes to come and take a dump on it

 

Potted on the fuchsia boliviana's and planted the large ensete out.

 

Netted the dwarf cherry tree. Fingertip weeded and thinned the carrots. Feed the peas and gave the recently plated leeks a dilute feed.
Gave the climbing french beans some words of encouragement. :-)

 

Just binned my 5ft phoenix roebelini that Ive had for years Palms so much pleasure but so much pain at the same time

Planted up 145 calendula too,love em,cheap bright tough colourful and endless seeds year after year.

 

Threw together a couple of troughs for 'up at the back',still need to find a home for all the other plants that keep appearing...watered and weeded and sharpened my shears and charged up my hedge trimmer ready for the big Buxus bash tomorrow
