What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

I really need to get my finger out...lots to prick out,pot on and have quite a few bare root Buxus left over from my hedge (for spares) I was trying to think of somewhere to put them just to get them in the ground but space is limited and I don't want to be too hasty so I'll pot them up for now

 

Last of my 11" pine planking treated today ready to replace some raised bed sections that are on the way out.

 

Today was "dig up little tree stump" day
Now I ache from "dig up mahoosive tree stump" day (cheeky blighter was hiding a big fat belly of a root under the soil ). Mr "M" is bitterly regretting asking if there is anything I needed any help with today (and I just knew the garden was *not* in his mind when he asked it)
I've already put it in his mind that there is more to be done tomorrow (re-jigging the chooks Cube, the veg trug and compost bin) to get that end of the garden sorted.

 

Haven't done much today as my back has been playing up so my OH did a bit of lifting for me by putting one of my pots of tulips into a more sunny position and moving a large wooden trough that needs emptying and planting with something else.

Moved a few things out of the prop which have germinated. I'm itching to sow my toms but I'll wait a little longer. I'm also itching to direct sow some annuals into containers but I'll leave that until April.

 

What did you treat the pine planking with please? I have old wardrobe which I could dismantle and put to raised bed use.....

 

Was that the little tree stump in the sunny bed you were thinking of leaving? If it was, I think I'd best go hide!

 

Didn't do much today. Potted up some begonia 'bulbs'. I put them in individual pots for now as they're going into window boxes and I want to try and colour co-ordinate them with the other plants which will go in there. Don't know if it will work or not. It was so warm this afternoon I just sat in the sun looking at the garden imagining where I might plant out all the seeds that are germinating/growing away in the conservatory. Was a lovely peaceful, dreamy kind of day which doesn't happen too often so I just made the most of it.

 

last night started some leaf raking out of one of the gardens, the dry areas of leaves. More tonight. still lots are wet. but little by little. big drags to the woods.

 

Hi all,

I've been finishing installing my greenhouse, just a few bits left to do :-),

 

Looks great Martin . Mine is still in its packaging in the garage

 

Thank you Eve, I do hope you get it fixed up soon

 

Got the 2 trachycarpus waggies planted and phyllostachys nigra (black bamboo) too
Dug in 4 large barrows of manure into the new bed too
Starting to take shape

No my lovely, this one was once a tree (on the dark side )
Now, the "little" stump we spoke about is ....


... in the area we are tackling this afternoon ... and I seem to have forgotten to mention that bit to Mr "M"
