WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Will do @Perki I have quite a few of these planters around the garden and greenhouse they get special attention with water, granular feed and Tomorite lol

 

Ive been fitting a palm tree shower curtain of all things .

 

Gnomes @martin-f ??? you like Gnomes?

 

Square 114mm plastic guttering has its uses if kept fed and well watered. (drainage holes drilled in btm)
here are but a few others @Perki
No shortage of Lettuce here

 

Your lettuce looks great BigC I concidered growing strawberries in guttering pipes but I didn't think they be deep enough for strawberries

 

Been in and out of the garden today, planted a couple of monarda scorpion, I find growing monarda a bit temperamental . Dead head lots of plants, cut back the sambucus black lace which was casting to much shade, tidied up the greenhouse look much better now. Planted some pelargoniums / lewisia in some terracotta pots for a GH display

 

There ok daughter/grandkids keep buying me them.

 

Try hanging baskets it's what I do inside and out.

 

Finally finished my fern border.

 

My stacker pots are planted out. We will see if they take or not. Apologise for all the debris inn the photos. Tidying and planting jobs are going hand in hand at the moment.

^^^^^^^^

Looking good you two .

 

Two final cuts in this hot spell for 2 customers.
All was going well till I was cleaning up some ground where the Badgers had disturbed only to hit a wasp nest.
Touch wood not a sting from any of the nests I’ve disturbed over the years and I got away with it today.

 

Scary! I had a wasps' nest in a plum tree. My fault, I had let some fruit over ripen, get pecked by birds and wasps took over.

I've got myself committed to digging out tons of soil to expand patio area at my niece's new build!!!!!! Hopefully it will be a little cooler this week when I start the work. Might get some help.....might???

On the brighter side, my order for thalictrums should arrive tomorrow

 

Please can we have a ''how poetic'' button

 

If you`ve got wasps, tie string around the legs of your trousers/shorts/mankini.....this is the voice of painful experience speaking....:hurt:
