What jobs are we doing in the garden today 2016

As I work four days, nothing much happens in the week, but I just about have time for a pest check and watering some plants moved on Tuesday ... weather not too bad here, not much sunshine but rain has stayed away - hope you are feeling better soon Michael

 

Finally got the tomatoes into there final pots in the GH, now I've finally got some space in there Still got loads of stuff to find space for
Potted on some echiums and repotted a fatsia that was going yellow.

 

Thank you @Kath Potts - I am on the mend

 

I moved a few things, small Heather, skimmia and potted primrose in seperate pots and cosmos went in.. you watching me Armandii!?

Thought I was done for a bit but needed to get a few other things in bigger pots (lupin, snapdragons, hollyhocks, spinach) before they were root bound. Got 2 more baskets for begonias, planted them up. Finally put my sweet peas in the ground didn't want to waste them, weeded next doors again, put a trellis up for her and moved all her ornaments where she wanted.. had a clean up before eldest one turned up with friends to play out back

Sunflowers need something done to them.. but what!? I've got no deep pots left!

 

Pulled up the spent wallflowers and forget me nots at last. Plus loads of weeds. Trimmed back the Ribes which always takes over the path at the back this time of year. Watered the new border and all the pots/greenhouse well. Saw that the pigeons have snapped off 2 of the cosmos I planted yesterday with their fat asses. I have a few spare in the greenhouse.
Sprayed round up on bindweed and wood avens and wished I could bend down to dig them out, suffering with terrible acid reflux all the time now- pretty much from late morning to early hours- and any bending over makes it loads worse.
Time for a gaviscon and to go visit my nan before a friend's wedding rehearsal.

 

Nothing in the garden too cold and windy, temp in Summer house around 9. Someone did tell me once that there is a bright yellow object in the sky that gives some nice warmth.

 

I understand how you feel. I get the same after bending a lot, so now I always try to kneel down instead of bending.
But then it's difficult to get up again ... you just can't win !

 

I planted up this :-





It used to have a holly tree growing in it, but it didn't look right, so I used some alpines I had in pots ... but I think it could do with a few more.

 

I have stomach problems @CharlieBot and my doctor suggested eating banana's - they help to relieve the acid that causes reflux.

 

I've nearly finished planting out the annuals today, just the Thunbergia to go in but I have to prepare some ground for those. Then on to re-potting young Irises.

 

Thank you @Sheal and @Michael Hewett , I have my 28 week midwife appointment tomorrow so going to ask for a prescription to help.
I really like what you've done with the pot MH, I have a similar one so you've got me thinking now!

 

I'm sorry @CharlieBot I didn't know you were pregnant.
I get it because I am just old !
Also Congratulations
