      Watered my pots and baskets and aimed to do some dead heading, but no, the rain's doing it's worst again. :wallbanging:

          I gave the plants a water, and we had a new fence (finally) put up on the drive betwixed us and our neighbour. :hapydancsmil:

          Need to save some money up now and start on the front garden/driveway at the end of the year.

          Fed all the Cannas in pots with Miracle Grow, then fed the Roses in the borders with Tomato Feed. Went into the Green House and fed the Cannas and Bananas with Miracle Grow and the Tomatoes with Tomato Feed. Moved a perennial Geranium that was too close to a Hydrangea. Then fed the two climbing Roses "Compassion" and "Alchemist" on the sides of the Arbour with Tomato Feed [I'll feed the 7 climbing Roses by the pond with Tomato Feed tomorrow as that's a bit of an expedition!]. Then I weeded the border where the Lilac grow as it is still suffering from having seed in the soil from the Bird Feeders although now I've fitted large saucers to the bases so that doesn't happen any more. Refilled the Bird Feeders and topped up the pond to the right level. Took out some Aquilegia that grow like weeds in the borders and over shadow other plants....so they had to go. Pooped after that so had a :coffee:

                    Just extended one of the borders ready for the new plants.
                    Lifted all the turf off and dug over the soil.
                    Don't know whether to move the grasses, hosta and heuchera yet or wait till the end of the month? :ideaIPB:
