What jobs are we doing in the garden today 2016

Lol! Ok, I'm a bit unsure about it but I took one of these brown pots and gave it a white wash:



It either looks like shabby chic or someone's gone crazywith the Tippex.

 

Looks good to me - if you want to go a bit more "shabby chic" you could decoupage some rose pictures onto it

Excellent news!!!! Now ... where's the pie

 

It looks good to me Jack

 

My order from brookside nursery arrived this morning so tonight consisted of potting on 40 geraniums and 40 gazanias. Repotted the 3 large Brugmansias that are slowly showing signs of coming back into leaf.

 

Sowed kale, collards, psb, and my favourite Rudbekia Aztec dwarfs. Pulled up a load of nettles from under the magnolia, and spread more bark chippings there.

 

After feeding the roses with chicken manure pellets I then emptied most of my small composter on to the bed they're in. A job that's usually done at the start of March but weather has delayed it, the rain set in again just as I was finishing.

 

I got a cut of the grass in between showers. The third cut of the year, but so much easier, now we have a new lawnmower that actually does self-propel!!

I was hoping to have a wander around, camera at the ready, but the weather decided to change my plans, so it was indoors for some cake-baking

 

My lawn had its second cut of the year yesterday, today i popped to B&M and bought 200 pansies then on to Morrison's,

I am just planting the pansies up 80 in 120 to go.

 

I've done that before

One of @noisette47's Squirting Cucumbers has germinated

 

I planted my onion sets in little pots and put them in one of those plastic plant growers. I cut back some hardy Fuchsias.
I am really behind this year - the weather and other things getting in the way ...

 

Lawn mown; girls were given free range of the contents of the compost bin (it's not really composted too well, so a bit of rebalancing needs doing)

My large cock has been given its final position - honestly, it's been moved hither and thither but only *now* has a place to call home Like I said to Mr "M", it may take a bit of time, but, eventually all things fall into place. And now, he's in his "place"!

Bit more weeding: ok, I lied, a LOT more weeding (where are they all coming from? Then again, it's back to an old saying: when the weeds get growing, it's time to get sowing) and another sizing up of "The Proposed New Border" ... I have to plant seeds of ideas into Mr "M"'s mind before *anything* takes root, so I dare say there will be lots of sizing up going on over time before I convince him of the inevitable: I am *always* right! And a border, just *there* is the RIGHT thing to do! *sighs* It's a long process

 

All done, and sown 60 sunflowers the ones I've sown direct the mice have taken a fancy to them this year little bu**ers .

 

Is there something you're not telling us @"M"?
