What jobs are we doing in the garden today 2016

Potted on 15 cactus dahlia and 10 begonia tubers. Must start empting the GH this weekend space in now required for potting on. Palms and other over wintered stuff should ok now.

 

Cut the lawn and did all the edging, looking smart if it wasn`t for all the buttercups growing in the lawn.

 

I refreshed the outdoor planter with three new cyclamen around the cineraria and replaced the rather aged compost, but I feel terrible because I accidentally sliced off most of the cineraria's roots in the process (don't ask) and I'm worried it will die now. I repotted some sedge grass and a sedum out of the hanging basket into pots, and have temporarily stored the basket away. Bought a nice pot in sage green to repot a plant display from the kitchen. All of this followed a trip round three local garden centres with a neighbour which was nice. I saw a lovely foliage plant called Coprosma Tequila Sunrise and another called Scarlett O'Hara. They were stunning colours!

 

Well i made a start on a part of the garden i left wild last year, i am unsure what to do, i don't want to start messing with the border a few plants are starting to get settled,

Maybe put the planters up to the conifers and leave a walkway in between the border and the planters/conifers.

 

The weather prevented me doing any work in the garden yesterday, so I ordered the last of the plants that I am planning to put in this year. There is a bit of doubt if I can get 4 of them, but that makes the wait curiously full of suspense.

 

Moooore lawn mowing, front and back, I swear it never ends. Found a pot for a rogue dahlia bulb that's been kicking around, and now musing over places to put hanging baskets. Also starting to get miffed off about still not having patio flags down, the little gravelly stones of the hard core make such a mess!

 

Hi, just a update from post 634, i am pleased with how things are looking, two more planters to move up there and i will reposition the lights.

 

Well what a day, started at 6.45am in my own garden for 45 mins before going to work. Moving a few bits out of the GH and tidying the pond up.
Then off to work, in my lunch hour made the yearly start on my retired bosses garden.
Mowed the lawn first as he's got the flu then onto the hedges, hydrangeas, fuchsias.
All done in hour lunch break
Then home had my dinner, then off down to the grandmother in laws again to finish her garden. Trimmed all the climbing roses and standards then onto the privet hedge, Finished that. All is needed now have a big bonfire
Just come out of the bath and time for a G+T

 

It has been more garden related than in the garden for me today. I've been replacing the Tecumseh engine in my ancient Shredder with a brand new Briggs and Stratton. A quick test run with it has reminded me how much better it is than the electric one I've been using for the past few months.

 

Nothing planned bl**£* freezing.

 

Did a little bit of outside catering today........................vine weevil grubs fed to the local bird population,all gone in minutes,happy customers.
Potted up another 60 odd strawb plants.

 

Repotted several Agapanthus today, easier said than done, they didn't want to come out and had to smash a couple of pots! Fortunately they were the cheap ones.

Lined the new pots with heavy duty weed fabric which I'm hoping helps when I have to repot again at some point.
