What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

First cut of the lawn today. Added a lot of organic matter to this years pea and bean bed. Going to sow my broad beans over the weekend. Then I waited for my son to come home and we have planted potatoes in 5 bags, I have 4 seed potatoes left. Should I put them in one of my raised beds. If do which one, roots, brassicas or legumes. . Cleaned out the chooks and then did a bit if weeding.

Well the sun got off to a slow start here, it looked like something was blocking it , but it brightened up a little later ,

I managed to get all the fence post painted and my wife sorted the gnome out with a coat of paint , she is working on water mill now .

 

Sorting out what plants I'm going to take to our new house has we've sold our house on the first viewing.

 

@ARMANDII ......thanks for that info. I know what I've done wrong now. I covered the seeds and they need light to germinate. I'll sow some more but leave them uncovered!

 

@Ian Taylor ...Nice one

Yesterday lifted and potted some plants where I'm going to plant annooooother Box hedge,I'm going a bit overkill on this Buxus business but I had some spares and love the stuff.I only potted the spares up a couple of days ago as I didn't know where to plant them poor things are going to be dizzy at this rate.Hoping to plant the hedge when I get in from work today,weather permitting

 

Today I'm going to pick up some quality seed compost for my Super 7 prop as recommended by you. Then hopefully get the compost warm and sow them up this evening.

If possible get to the allotment with the family and plant our broad beans and Charlotte seed potatoes

 

Funtastic news! Hope the whole process goes without hitch for you (we secured this one in April '14 but didn't get to exchange until mid August - and that was without any chain! Luckily, I wasn't taking too, too many plants with me and I managed to keep them alive ) Fingers crossed for you

 

Was up bright and early so sowed my toms and some Echinacea covered with a bit of vermiculite. Hopefully they'll now germinate. Out in the garden planted Aubretia and Forget-me-nots. Topped up the soil levels on the spuds in containers. Decided to feed my Pieris, Erica carnea and Skimmia. Moved some crocus and dwarf iris in small pots and replaced them with other pots containing daffodils which are just coming into flower. Did a bit of weeding and general tidying.

 

Chased the pebble fountain base down the garden path before it bashed into the chicken coop Bit breezy Time I decided where it is going really so I can dig it in

 

Today, all we have done is inspected the fruit trees, that have lovely swelling flower-buds, had words with the solitary bullfinch to "move along, please", and replanted one of the wood anemones again, after another visit from Mr Mole.

Then it was walking the dogs, and RUGBY!!!

 

done a lot of heavy stuff today , Paulownia now reduced to 3 feet or 1 meter thanks @Sheal

Taken out a 25 ft cotoneaster cornubia I hate doing this but I get it wrong at times and I just dint think it would go so huge plus it was originally the back of the fence before I moved the fence further down , it was also covered in Montana and wisteria so had to untangle all the mess , had to use the ladder but cut it down into sections , its let so much light in and will also give the Robinia pseudoacai more space to grow , also gave the holly madame briot a hair cut at the top as its going leggy and sparse up the stem so hopefully that will help it bush out a little ?? time will tell but doesnt look like I have cut out the top which thats what I wanted.

Begonia tubers all soaked in warm water , and all have been individually planted in pots just a wee bit bigger than the tuber and are now in the propagator at 65 f or 18c , used levingtons compost !! I will add my thought to the compost thread.

I was going to start planting seeds today but that will have to wait till Sunday
