What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2020

The temperature has dropped from the middle 50f's of yesterday to the middle 40f's so with that NorthEasterly wind it's not really pleasant out in the garden. But, wanting to finish off some jobs I clad myself in some thick, warm gear and tried to keep out of the wind by sticking to the more sheltered areas.
One job that I was determined to finish off was putting all the remaining Conifer pruning, plant leaves and debris, laying at the bottom of the middle path, into a garden sack and then dumping it into the Green Wheelie Bin ready for the Bin Collection tomorrow morning. By the time I had done that I was chilled to the bone, so I retreated to the Green House to do some watering and sorting out of the Hardy Perennials so that I could get warm again.
Another job I wanted to finish off was putting some of the Hardy Perennials in pots on the Patio onto the table I've placed under the Kitchen Window which will, later in the warmer months, have the Cacti and Carnivorous plants collection. I've left some under the table and some elsewhere on the Patio but I've got the ones I want where they should be. I've also moved the Acacia in the large pot to a new sheltered spot against the West Fence on the Patio because the new table was overlapping into it's space.
I wanted to do more but I was too cold to enjoy what I was doing, so I headed for the warmth of the House.

 

I would have difficulty selling unless they were close by and then I would have problems with distancing - but I could wait to afterwards if I could thing of where to keep it.

 

Good afternoon I have spent a most enjoyable 2 hours shredding all the garden waste that had built up over time,and preparing a new fence panel to put up tomorrow,the wind did feel quite cold,but no colder than being working the river which I enjoyed for many years,surrounded by new growth everywhere,the apple tree covered in new buds,the wild cherry many small leaves,and the Stella cherry tree and victoria plum tree covered in white blossom,and my friend the blackbird watching me,also planted some Munstead Lavender plants,now for a cup of coffee

 

I already have, John

 

Hmmmm - this distancing thing is a bit of a pain. I would happily accommodate it for you in my shed, but I am not allowed to travel to you to get it etc.

There's shoots coming up everywhere

It's too heavy to pick up
