WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2017

I was brought up never to "name drop"

 

Been out since 7am and I'm pooped already!! Coming in now and having a break so I don't over do it and burn out. Looking for advice of you lovelies!
Tidied up this area:

Going to dig this geranium up-it basically just harbours spanish slugs-yuk.
Should I give these Aqueligia a trim or are they supposed to be like this now??
Damn slugs attacked the beaut acanthus-anything I can do to tidy up or should I just leave it be?
Finished foxgloves? Tidy up or dig up??
Sea holly-was going to dig up as a)-leaves look a mess and home for slugs and b) it stinks like dog poo to me!!! Any thoughts on this??
Some more questions on their way....need ur help peeps xxx

 

Alchemilla mollis-shall i cut off the flower heads that are browning a bit?
AChillea-should I cut back the fading/less vibrant heads?

 

Can't see any seed heads? I leave mine as they are

Yup, you can cut the flower heads off ... if you are lucky, you may get a second flush

 

Thanks @"M" wasn't sure whether we were supposed to cut back any of the greenery part of aquilegia too....done the seed pods a while back and trimmed the stalk down

 

Went out again and took out the dog poo stinky sea holly. Looks so much better. Also tidied up the acanthus-found the culprits to the damage-some kind of spikey hairy moth caterpillars and thise slugs. Yuk yuk yuk. Been on the go all day so time to actually rest now.

 

Looking very neat & tidy Snorky, all the best for 'show' day I would just remove some of the tattered Acanthus leaves, otherwise it looks perfect. My Aquilegia's look far worse

 

Thanks @Mark56 you must have sent me telepathic messages-i snipped a few of the worst off-all have been attacked so didnt want to leave it bald

 

You need something in there that will completely stump the GW team, might I suggest a Reticulated Willow, native tree that is a survivor from the last ice age and only hangs on in a few mountains

Grows to the majestic height of 4 inches

 

Relaaaaax snorky...it will all be fine
Yes, cut off all fading flowers (achillea, encourages more flowers) all tatty or yellowing leaves ..they do no good now but will improve appearance. A scissors job that's all
Why not treat yourself to something new? Leucanthemum, echinacea, salvia?Go on, you know you deserve it

 

Thanks @Verdun just to be clear-you do mean the pink achillea and not the alchemilla mollis??

 

Now, were you the victim or the criminal?

 

Wasn't on there by choice

Today, I ave been mostly keepin the greenhouse door shut

 

Not done very much at all owing to arrival of another 4 week old orphaned hoglet. Found wandering on a busy lane playing chicken with traffic. Also weather not been great. Bought two more Ferns, still in their pots waiting. Managed to stick two small Fleabane's into a tub.

@Snorky85 I'm very impressed with all your hard work . I'm sure the GW team will be suitably impressed too. I look forward to more pics
