WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Today I jet washed the cow pats from my lawn and then went off to a local nursery.

 

Watched a lot of old movies mate with that start up

 

Well today I went to 3 garden centres and plants brought again...only 6 as I felt them calling me

When we got back all 5 plants from across the decking front have been removed plus brought to more bags of Multi purpose compost

New plants in the garden

Watched a lot of tennis on the box. Then listened to more on the little TV in our tea-house, whilst I dead-headed two rhodos, at the bottom of the garden, (a really boring job). I kept breaking off to watch bits of Marco Cecchinato beating Novak Djokovic, 3-1 to reach the French Open semi-final. Pruned off a lot of unwanted side shoots from three wisterias.
Then watered "everything."

 

That was the problem @shiney, they were starting to set like rock in the sun on the lawn, so I blasted them.

 

Hmmm, it's a bit late for that Shiney I've fertilised the lawn with them.

 

I'm glad I wasn't out there Armandii, I may well have got a pat on the back! They're big animals close up.

 

I've dug a number of rocks out of one of the lawns and rebuilt a small dry stone wall. Dug out a fern, not an easy job with tree roots intertwined, but pruners helped there. I also dug two of the holes for the Rugosa's with the same problem but they are now in. I'll tackle the other two tomorrow, hopefully that should be a little easier with not so many trees on the other lawn.

 

Been digging more bindweed out, that stuff is giving me nightmares I keep dreaming about white roots erupting out of the soil like the ' magic porridge pot '
Planted some more annuals and sowed some basil and gherkins. I started a thread about sowing seeds last night, not sure where it went

 

Probably

 

Loki you do sound in a right state of affairs mate ...to stop nightmares developing on top ….dig the garden up and get souly to the rooting cured my Oxalis
