WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2018

He is cute!

 

Not really in the garden ( more in my living room ) ......

Potted up a bare rooted Hibiscus Bluebird, 6 Trailing Begonia corms , sown seeds..... Rhodochiton, Dianthus, Salvia, Cleome, Cerinthe, Emilia, Schizanthus, Didiscus, Oryzo.

Also in my living room had to move furniture around as I'm having a large sideboard delivered on Wednesday.

 

Bought and potted up 18 primroses that I bought from the reduced section at B&Q. £4.

Bought a standard gooseberry bush and then realised I haven't got a big enough pot to put it in.
So it's back shopping tomorrow after work.

 

Bright sunny day so did my wage earning first thing and spent most of the afternoon testing all of the solar controllers, sockets, and dc fans. Threw out all the duds. Another step toward preparing the little greenhouses for the beginning of May.

 

Beautiful sunny day here but still very cold and not really in mood for gardening as had to take one of the rats to be PTS.. Had my day peering session into the pond, fed the birds and sorted hedgehogs. Misted my seedlings, can't believe how fast they sprouted after sowing, just 3 days.

 

awww so sorry to hear that @luciusmaximus I'm sure you'd done everything you could have done for it.

 

Just had a look around, bulbs are all doing nicely including our giant lilies which are just showing their heads above the ground. Once it gets warmer I'm going to reduce the number of bluebells we have "everywhere," they've multiplied over the last forty years. They do look attractive, but after flowering I hate having to clear away all that slimy foliage.
Resisted the temptation to do any hoeing, as I never know what's still to be coming up.

 

Decided I would sow some more seeds ( cosmos - cleome - black pansy - anagallis - melons again - primula auricula ) while the GH was warm , to warm for me.

I was going to call that a do for today but got a bit carried away when I walked past the pyracantha, need training / pruning so got that done. While I had the secateurs in my hand I walked past the climbing paul scarlett rose which I then had the urge to prune, cause I've done one might as well do the other 4 roses

 

@Perki you've done well mate but can you please do your writing bigger i've got spec's on and still added a magnifier to see

 

Just mowed the lawn, but the lawn mower didn't like some of the snow drifts by the hedge

 

This is me garden plans for tomorrow

 

More painting today so no gardening except for planting out some primulas
Beautiful day.....sun from early morning to now. Will be cold tonight but temps are on the rise.
