    Down to the grandmother in laws again yesterday after work, loads done lawns edged and cut. Must of took 1000 bluebell bulbs out of the borders. Found another 5 bags of tulips in the GH so potted them up in a few planters. Ash from the bonfire scattered onto the compost heap...
    Tomorrow armed with jeyes fluid the GH will be cleaned :heehee:.
    In my garden nothing today as having little mowgleys friends round and keeping three 7 year old entertained. Just back in from the GH bringing about 25 trading of plant back in because its forecast -1'c here tonight :yikes:

      Tired myself out. Finally finished digging over area where the decking, rubble and patio was. Jarred my teeth as discovered an unidentified metal pole in solid concrete that went two feet deep!

      Started moving a few plants including the fern which will begin the stumpery and now it's just waiting for the delivery of topsoil on Monday...

      I need steak and wine.

        That sounds familiar Loofah. If it's the same as I've dug up in the past it's probably an old washing line post. :doh::)

                I cleaned out the Tomato buckets and sprayed them with Jeyes Fluid, planted out some bulbs into the borders and into some large pots. Then I went down to the pond and sat there making a mental note of what needs cleaning up and sorting out. I brought some trays of Cosmos and Aster seedling out of the warm room and put them into the Green House on the new shelf unit that I bought a few days ago. It's a nice feeling when you see things becoming more organised and tidier looking and you can start to look forwards into the jobs that will need doing in a week or two.:coffee::snork:

                          Finished fixing the debris netting on the fence, not only will it cut the wind, it'll stop the sheep sticking their heads thru and eating everything :paladin: DSCI0138.JPG

                                Got a fair bit done today once the morning frost had lifted.

                                In the greenhouse, potted up the sweet pepper seedlings and did my first sowing of carrots in a large pot.

                                In the veg plot, planted the Arran Pilot spuds and put stakes and string around the autumn sown broad beans, which are already in flower and reaching a good height.

                                Gave an old garden bench a quick rub down and a coat of wood preservative.

                                Finished off the afternoon giving the herbaceous border a quick going over, doing a little hand weeding, while paying special attention to the bittercress, which has begun its annual campaign to invade everywhere. :paladin:
