What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

up early, put a heavy stain on my wooden outdoor rocker, will dry all day out in the nice weather today. off to work soon.

 

Not much being done in the garden today, as we have rain at last!!

 

Yes Verdun, can't get enough.

 

Planted out more Lettuce,shuffled stuff around in the GH,picked Toms and Cues,pricked out foxgloves and had a good sweep and tidy up.

 

As I passed by I cut niece’s grass .......she never pays me !

Beautiful day ......

I picked beans and tomatoes again....daily thing now.....last picking of rhubarb and watered plants in containers, in gh and in conservatory. Totally sheared off pelargoniums outside ....I do this 3 or 4 times ....and they will flower again in a matter of days

 

Got back from work early heavy rain again . the sun did appear and dried the back lawn off enough to cut . Cut a few plants away from the lawn and tidied up some of the pots and give them a feed. Turned the compost heaps, this years heap is nice and warm and last years is breaking down nicely futher on than usual I think .

Planted Pervoskia again after my last one was smoothered , in the prosess ended up murdering 4 large allium bulbs .

Went round to mum to get my canna back after being in quarantine for a few weeks it look well not like the canna I saw yesterday at the GC with the virus.

 

@shiney That sounds like a successful day’s work to me!

 

@shiney that sounds like a lot of debris gone. It's not often I get a sore back but when I do, I get pretty annoyed by the limitations I have to tolerate. So much to do and not enough time for delays!

We aren't allowed bonfires here without a special permit so everything has to go in the brown paper bags which of course means all must be chopped up into pieces less that 18".

I've stuffed a couple more annuals into the garden because they got too big for their pots. Watered everybody and need to figure out how to access the rail of the deck surround which is behind the greenhouses at the side of the house. I have two more solar panels to install up there and the rail is about 10' off the ground and in a narrow space. I don't think the ladder will fit in there. Hope I don't have to crawl over there from the end - I really do not like heights

 

I must stop reading this thread as I feel guilty not actually doing much apart from looking at things and sitting in the sun.
Some of you make me feel worn out just reading about it, I have got a tiny garden, mind.

 

Here...So frustrating, I wanted to water the lawn :rasp:

A satisfying and productive morning but the traffic is a nightmare ...the whole of the UK seems to be here

Checked out the residential home where my brother now is......fantastic, home from home, like a top class hotel. He is an accomplished guitarist and already has attracted excitement from staff and residents. I think he is in a good place so a big relief

 

So pleased for your Brother ,sounds like he's living in a great place and also sounds like he's going to make even better.Good on him.

 

Back from a little trip to Belgium and had planned to do a tidy up in the garden after the bad winds...but a migraine has it and I’m laid up :( just want to get outside but head hurts too much

 

Hope you feel better soon.

6 lawn cuts and 2 hedges cut today. Weather looks bad for tomorrow but at least it all went to plan today.
Striped down my km130r power head and sorted that as it was playing up. Petrol starvation from dirty fuel.
