What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

haha! I shall watch out for him! :D

 

I don't think you can over water in the garden Jack but if you're talking about pots, I soak them until it comes out of the bottom then leave them to dry out before watering again.

 

I'll be watering and Mowing the lawns today and hopefully catching a tan

 

Yesterday I spotted a tomato plant I'd forgotten about and meant to put in the green bin as it was a spare. I noticed it had a few flowers on it so I potted it up and found a bit of space for it along the south facing fence. Also did plenty of watering and bee watching.

 

I watered everything out front early doors, then planted out some Daylilies and moved some California Poppies from a planter to the same border. I'm not sure they're going to transplant very well but worth a shot. I've removed a couple of Digitalis from the back to move to the front and I've got a load of other stuff to plant out, so will get on and do that over the weekend.

Right then, I've got me nappies.
I've just spent an hour splitting one and extracting the white powdery stuff but am now thinking I've done it wrong.
Should I be leaving the cotton wool type stuff in with it ???

 

Busy, busy, busy today.

It all began with deciding it was way beyond time the sweet peas on my bathroom windowsill needed planting up and it all went from there: ... planting; sowing salad leaves; potted up a hanging basket; sort of put together the shadow of a window box (at least the brackets are up and I can work on that at leisure); moved the furniture around the patio; created a hanging "salad bar"; hung two laundry loads outside; moved patio pots around the patio; caught the sun on my back; made a hanger each for 3 small terracotta pots to put some succulent "cuttings" into; dropped two of the pots which broke into 2 and 3 pieces - had no glue - so, tied them back together again with string

Doesn't look like much written down, but, my back is telling me otherwise

 

did a little hedge pruning (and shredding), rhodedendron dead-heading, general deadheading, and then watering, as the threatened thunderstorms did not arrive. Oh, and a lot of wine-drinking - well, it is our wedding anniversary!!

 

Hope your knees are better today @jennywren.
Happy anniversary, @Sian in Belgium!

I don't have much in my garden yet *sulk* but I did plant a hanging basket last Sunday - my first ever gardening job! - and I was very excited to notice yesterday that the Surfinia are opening flowers now. So my daily gardening job is watering the basket.

Twice I've come out of the house and walked straight into the darn thing. My head is feeling quite tender!

 

Hi FC,

Thanks

I'll have a go tomorrow and when they're wet through I'll add the one I split back into the mix a little but at a time.

PS... Paid £1-85 for 10 from Wilkinsons.

 

Had a smashing afternoon in the orchard where the Kuny Pigs live. Had the greenhouse to myself- well, had a soppy ginger moggy to keep me company..., Classic FM on the radio, a load of 6 cell polystyrene modules, a tray of poppies to prick out and a huge great pile of Compost.
Absolute heaven, 3 hours just stood there potting up about 100 poppies,

( that's a peacock's rear end on the right )
and my pile of lovely compost

back in the morning to do some potting on,
Jenny
