WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2017

Thems probably drawing up a contract for you

 

@Snorky85 glad your back, have been wondering where you have been. Sorry to hear you've been poorly but glad you have recovered.

 

Ah thanks @luciusmaximus how are you and how are the hoggies? And did u get the cat wee stain out the marble?! Lol

 

I used biological washing tablet dissolved in warm water to combat the stain .

Hoggies are all doing well. Very stinky . Avery is the worse. She is so dirty I have had to take her sleeping box away as she was pooing in it so much and then getting herself covered in it.

 

I'm storing that tip for future marble issues!!

Glad the hoggies are all well (minus poo issues! Lol).

We are going to st ives for the week tomorrow for wedding anniversary. Yay! The woofers are going to love it. Whilst we're away the lawn ppl are coming to moss treat/scarify the lawn.

Also heard from Gardeners World....likely to be on next week-they'll confirm asap. Eeeeek

 

@ARMANDII my armandii has bloomed again!! Is this normal?!

 

Our Mandy isn't normal, what makes you think your's should be

 

Mowed and edged the lawn.

Not much else really, apart from sorting out a few more things ready for the move. Two empty water butts which we're taking with us have now been filled up with various pots, seed trays and so on. Should make it easier come moving day.

 

Well I've still not got my rose in the ground yet cause it wont stop raining, I am admiring it in the kitchen at the moment. Feed the tomatoes and the cucumber last night, need to feed the pots today and do some deadheading and get some pictures. I need to walk down to Lidl today they have some fancy daffodils in, but I dont feel like it I've got the lurgy and it looks like it going to rain any second. If I dont go they be all gone rapidoo. Lidl have giant/large Alliums bulbs in next week if anybody interested.

 

The poker and the coreopsis are now in the ground for safe keeping. I put a layer of compost at the bottom and another at the top. I also gave each a dose of liquid plant food and then watered them in.

I also started on my winter interest section.



I chopped away the 2 box hedges. I still have to chop down the other bush and dig out all the routes. Today's mission was to see where the path would fit for best effect.

I have opened the tap on the water butt to allow a tiny trickle of water out. I need it to empty but I don't want to flood the soil. Once it's emptied I can move it.

@Jack Sparrow job well done.... soil looks cracking there too ....Bet you feel satisfied now ...deserve one.... or two of these this evening

 

@BeeHappy Time will tell but so far so good. My main worry is the wind. If ithe poker doesn't like the wind it couldn't be in a worse spot. The chain fence was put there because I got fed with losing fence panels. It's not an issue we have anymore.
