WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

Hiya Mark......I pruned mine back a couple of weeks back as well as K. Coral and Gold. No need to be selective about pruning. A pair of scissors and cut through a handful of foliage and flower. I just make sure no flower buds are left, I apply a feed and they recover very quickly.
This is Coral reflowering already. Excuse the weeds

Incidentally, I also took cuttings at the same time......non flowering side shoots

Lovely day so I picked a load of runner beans, divided some stipa tennuissima and sanguisorba alba and picked a few more carrots (not many left!!) and dead headed again. Hopefully cut the grass again later

 

He's still lovely no matter what he's been up to.

 

He's all "fluffy" and white again now logan

 

I repotted some honesty and marguerites I sowed earlier in the year, I think I’ll over winter them and plant out next year.
I collected some seed, cerinthe, sweet peas and antirrihnum. I watered, deadheaded and totally refused to acknowledge the huge brambles and nettles that are taking over part of my border

 

@Loki I was quite taken with the Honesty plant I saw at Shineyland. I am going to order seeds to start my own. I forgot to ask the zone they are rated as hardy suitable.

 

That's great, you should do a pic, before and after.

 

@CanadianLori 1 of a few things that will grow under this enormous Lime is Honesty so it doesn't mind serious shade!. As shiney has said it is very hardy and survives here where it can very occasionally go down to say about -15. It is extremely dry under the Lime so maybe it is a case like with many plants, as long as the ground isn't too wet in winter plants can survive the cold temperatures. With absolutely no help from me, it does it's own thing, seed freely and is very pretty.

 

I'l maybe get the grass done today (after I've take the Mrs to hospital for an operation)...The weather has been soo wet that I cannot get near it...Its been well cared for this past months feeding and weeding etc that its very thick and lush but long..lol....I can see a full wheelie bin of grass cuttings here....otherwise I may just buy a GOAT....

 

Oh dear, i hope she'll be alright.

 

Hope all went well at the hospital BigC

 

@silu thank you for the encouragement.

@BigC I too, hope your wife is okay.

I've been trying to sort out why one of the overhead fans in a little greenhouse has stopped operating. During sunny breaks I'll be tracing wires.

 

Potting on more wallflowers.
