What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

Ohh, thanks for that reminder about feeding, the chillies are grumbling about not having their Monday feed....

 

After a slow start to the day, got my wind up for the afternoon:-

• removed gate from front of property
• attached old gate from the front to the archway entrance to the utility area of the rear garden to complete the secure area for the chooks
• top dressed several pots
• potted on a clematis Armandii
• potted up a lavender
• potted up a rosemary
• re-sited the wheelie bins
• re-arranged some pots out the front and put them on the stairway to the basement (*then* watered them )
• more (bind) weeding
• trimmed the pair of standard Bays of their ba(b)ylets which are growing up from the base, gave them a topdressing and mulch

That's enough for today, I think

 

Weeded the brassica plot and planted out some Psb. Planted out some castor oil plants, admired the peonies, tried not to look at the bare patch where the rabbits ate the coreopsis!

 

Today's endeavours:-

1) turn left at the end of my road and visit a garden centre (hugely disappointing!)
2) turn right at the end of my road and visit a garden centre (took me aaaages ... perusing )
3) select plants
4) pay for plants selected - in cash, so not traceable
5) Hide them in boot of car
6) Drive home
7) Smuggle them in round the back

It was a tough afternoon's work, but, it had to be done!

 

Hi "M",

All this talk of hiding, smuggling......
I'm worried about number four ! ! !

 

Me too!!! If it showed up on a statement I'd have awkward questions to answer to e.g.
"Why did you buy the Eden Project?"
or
"Do we sponsor the plants for Kensington Palace now?"

Yes, I know, very weird questions indeed hence why I want to avoid them by paying cash Besides, all my family know that the plants in my garden were all ... self seeded

 

"self seeded".........

mmmmmmhhhhh


{ I really wish I had a funny face thingy to put in here Lol }

 

Absolutely self seeded Which reminds me ... must pop over to "Show us your recent purchases" with my latest "self-seeders"

 

Abit of weeding and trying to set the irrigation system up for when I go away.
Things are finally starting to grow now.
Potted up a begonia luxurians and deciding whether to bin the 3 tigerella toms in the GH (blight ) other not effected though

 

Watering watering. Dug out my astilbe as they were really suffering and had powdery mildew. The ground was really dry where they were. I just don't think my watering could keep up. Wasn't massively keen on them anyway...

Hi Shiney,
That is brilliant, even I wouldn't have thought of that

 

Have you got a problem raising the smileys Anthony?
