WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

I defied the Ban!
Am I a criminal....I dont feel like a criminal...in fact I feel rather smug and bolshie, not unlike yesterday morning, before the so called ban...I was up at 2am sticking two fingers up at the establishment (metaphorically speaking) who cares if next doors brats go without their Ribena (it rots your teeth anyway):rasp: my plants need water...and they sure as hell shall have it...my rates bill is colossal and "they" even state that there is no shortage in water quantities, just the distribution network is under strain...well...how about using some of the money collected from the good folks who go to work on a daily basis and pay their way in life to upgrade the system which by "their" own admittance is failing and maybe just maybe I wont have to run around the green carpet at 2am like some kind of cat burglar...
NB..it was bloody cooler to do it at that time anyway and seeing as most folks would have been tucked up in the land of nod, then little old me wouldn't have been putting too much of a strain on their antiquated system

 

Jeeze @shiney thats just awesome...I planted some seeds in two little biodegradable pots..there is a clump of small leaves now (pic to follow) they took ages to germinate but germinate they eventually did. What should I do now to get an impressive array like your image above...
they sat in a tray of water the whole time and look very healthy. I thnk they are too clumped together but I'm loathed to separate them as they are so delicate

 

Not an aquilegia fan but that is impressive Shiney

Tempted to dig up a couple of plants not up to the mark this year. A sanguisorba, normally 6' high, is barely half that this year, so it will be divided and potted up. I have some nice replacements to hand.

Another even hotter day to come

 

The same as been stated for here mate and it was on the news last night...if my plants need water then they're getting water

 

I am converted...what a beautiful display @shiney ..I will be sowing quite a few more seeds next year...I have also dowloaded the information sheet from your link above..many thanks for the information it is very much appreciated

 

There's many members on here with stunning gardens

 

and I shall afford them the credit they deserve as and when I come across these wonderful spaces..(I am a fairly new member) My garden is dull by comparison it needs a little colour..yes it has colour in places but there is something missing somehow it needs to gel more I reckon...so when I see something I like or may fit the bill I will comment, nobody will receive any negativity from me whatsoever...and I'm sure you have a stunning garden @Gail_68 also

 

Lettuce growers warn of imminent shortage
Prepare to pay more for your greens from next week folks...

 

Damnation! My clematis Florida Sieboldii is looking good here from the kitchen window so warranted a picture but a pair of my bright blue pants in the background is hanging on the line like an intruder at the party. It means I have to get up and move them but I am sooo comfy Ah well! Another time

All this talk of water shortages. What will be will be but, for me, its all about mulching. It goes a long way to conserve moisture!

 

Wheat, Barley,oats and the straw not looking good
