WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2017

It's getting to be a bit of addiction! I'm always at the local garden centre as its so cheap!!!

 

Leave room for some of the stuff i'm bringing up to Shiney's Snork

Just pulled some of the nettles and brambles out of the semi wild fruit garden. There's 3 Blackcurrants and a Grape vine in there somewhere

 

Went up the plot, potted on melon, chillis, toms, and a few other things. Watered the plot over, they've gone on hols, watered their and another person's things, who's in hospital after surgery, in the polytunnel.

Came back home was going to pot up summer pots, noticed a whole shelf of my nicotiana, petunias and other bedding plants had been knocked over by wind/cat or something else, thought balls and came in.

Feel even more deflated having just heard the news that the person who was in hospital has passed away. Was only in his mid 50's and such an upbeat person.. life is cruel.

 

Aww that's so sad linz. Life is just too short. Make the most of it-you never know when ur time is up.

 

Aww Linz

Been making a thinger to grow me peas thru

 

Just sown some tongues of fire beans in the pub flower pots

 

One special wonton soup comin up for you white girl

 

Been working on planting out or potting up most of the day. Got lots of tomatoes planted and lupins and placed the marigolds out where they will go. The greenhouses are now full with hot peppers which never go outside.

Thought I'd get the dirty work (planting out toms) when I was still in my jammies and before the neighbours get out of bed, then get myself cleaned up and into fresh clothes. Well, now my fresh clothes need to go in the laundry too. The knees on my jeans are crusted in mud. So much for that plan.

The trees are in full bloom. The snow cloud on one side of the yard looks awesome and the crab apple tree's dark pink flowers are very pretty too.

Pooped and am quitting for the day. Still need to put up some mesh on the back fence for the sweet peas but that shall have to wait for another day.

Looks like we are all getting lots of fresh air and should sleep well!

Cheers

 

Mowed and edged the lawn, just to tidy it up really - there's hardly any growth at the moment as it's so dry.

Sowed some butternut squash and my second batch of sweet corn in the greenhouse.

 

No Casualty due to sodding Eurovision so going outside to burn something
