What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

Funny thing is that i do.

 

Bought these lovely osteospernums at the beginning of the summer. They were advertised as a new variety. The original blooms died off quickly and I had stopped expecting anything more from them, but, lo, they are back after ten weeks or so!

 

Who needs to grow blackberries? Masses of them on the Towans approaching the beach.
Delicious too

Gardening is now only about deadheading and picking beans, tomatoes and salads. However, prob will make notes about moving plants around

Thought I might be getting rid of one or two plants but they have performed well this year

 

@Verdun these are thornless ones and big,not like the wild ones around here.

 

Ah yes! But I am a masochist Logan....I enjoy the pain of the thorns Besides cheapskate me I can pick for free

You are right though, some of the thornless ones are delicious.

 

Hubby picked the cooking apples, we only had 4lb this year, very poor.

Would have had a few more but the black birds got there first.

 

Mixed lot of garden chores today. Had a final drastic thin of the two vines.

Checked over the plums.

Had a coffee break on the east patio as that is a real sun trap in the mornings
Potted up some winter Pansies. After lunch I went back to sorting out and cleaning the greenhouse...no pics as it still looks a tad like a bomb exploded in there!!

This evening I collected up some more seeds.

 

Lawns mown, tomatoes picked and plants moved......helenium short n sassy divided earlier in the year and now flowering well was planted out. Hackonechloa Old Gold planted out too....tonight's rain should water them in

Am I the only one not to enjoy chrysanthemums? Earlier today some folks were raving about them but, for me, they are vastly over rated plants. Their flowering is brief and their habit ungainly. Won’t have them here!

 

I don't like them much either @Verdun .
