What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

Thanks ......and good idea!

 

Well, I've sheared the pittosporum of all its wind damage (looking very sorry for itself now though) and it's fingers crossed it returns to its full glory.
I've filled the veg trug with compost and I've put a mulch sheet over the compost, pinned down with stones, just to get that soil warmed up a little bit before I plant some beans and peas in it.
May do some weeding between intermittent sunshine and cooking the dinner, but we'll have to see

 

Thats the shed spring cleaned..After lunch gonna start painting the fence..ARRRGHH

 

Sorting out what plants I want to take to our new house, lucky I never throw away any plant pots, only problem I have is my large Golden Bamboo

 

Sounds like you are dreading it....can't you combine it with something relaxing e.g. a radio station?

 

Just some small, basic stuff, e.g. potting up a bought fuschia (the small ones I buy each year never seem to make it into the next year, despite carefully bubblewrapping against frost and placing in a secluded corner of the garden). Placed some horse manure around hebes and rose bush. Oh....and threw some more marbles/beads across my shed roof to deter the vandalising trespasser using that route.

 

more raking.

 

Large in girth or height? If height, can you give it a spring haircut to make transplanting it more manageable. Or, do you have a large plastic dustbin you could put it in?

 

Although a plastic dustbin may sound unattractive, these days you can buy attractively patterned stick on vinyl designed for wheelie bins (obviously lopping off the lid) e.g. looking like a hedge.

 

Chicken proofed my new 'hot border' ...well I thought I had Lily chook found an access point and if she carries on like that she'll be stuffed
Sown some more salad leaves and potted on my Brugs,also sown some Mina Lobata (Spanish Flag) ,Nemaslugged my 'garage border' but why has just that taken most of the day....because in the usual fashion you start your intended job and it leads to half a dozen others....

I'm in need of a big roast diner and lots of chocolate....five more minutes in this sunshine though

 

Just a question ... I take it watercress does *need* a bit of soil and not purely just water?
This is my experiment and I need to move them on now (hence the question)

 

Not dreading it rosebay its a big fence too paint..I say big fence it takes about 25 litres of paint
