What jobs are we doing in the garden today 2016

Thank you both I just hope the planting arrangements will be ok.. there's an absolute mishmash in there!

 

I bought a new mini greenhouse that had been reduced in Wilko, and put it together
but I slotted the wrong bits into each other, and then, when it wouldn't stand up, I had to take it all apart and start again
I've never been good at DIY but I got it right in the end
It's full of cuttings now

 

Well done Michael, I take it is one of the ones with plastic covers/zips, if it is buy a replacement cover as I've found in the past that they alter the design slightly the following season and the replacement covers don't fit well.

 

Thanks for the advice @john558 I shall do that They don't last long.

 

My first cover lasted over two seasons and now into it's third year. This winter I'll just leave the cover on and take a chance as it think it will rip if i try and take it off. I do have three spare covers bought at Wilko sale for £3 each.

 

@Linz - Bravo!!! A blind man on a galloping donkey couldn't miss the transformation of your front garden; amazing job Think you've earned one of these:

That's the spirit It is the getting it right in the end which matters most; well done

 

I'm getting ready for the delivery of these..
.

I will order bug screen by the yard and sew covers to fit these as well.

Excited!

 

that is a lot of work @Linz . and money. Wow.

 

Thank you all for your kind comments I'm pretty chuffed with it but I'm still tired today and it still needs a bit more done to it!

It didn't come in at that much really, quite pleased I grew a few plants from seed (rudbeckia, coreopsis, hollyhocks and poppies, can't think what else atm) and moved a few from round the back. Logs, paint, trellis and most of the plants I posted in the "recent purchases" thread were the only things bought for it really and a few plants that I bought in Spring, so I'd say about 60-70 quid could have spent ALOT more but I'm too impatient and couldn't wait for a kid free day to go proper garden centre hunting

 

I couldn't do anything outside because of the rain but I did manage to repot some Auriculas, and I took cuttings from them too

I also picked up some litter from the little road that goes past the back of my garden, and I tied it on a trellis, with a sign saying 'LITTER LOUTS' ... because I am fed up with it and I hope the culprits will see it and stop doing it.
