What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK3.. 2013

Given up on the gardening front.....far too hot the shears have given up in the heat,the Hoe won't hoe as the ground is rock solid and the sweeping brush feels too heavy.....so i'll have to just sit back and relax.....

 

oooh love each and every one of those Merleworld. A fine selection indeed....

Potted on my sweet peppers, washed a load of pots and trays again and spent an hour or so feeding plants this evening.

 

I've repositioned two of the Roses I planted yesterday because they weren't evenly spaced. Used the tape measure this time. Chilling under the ceiling fan thinking about what to do next

 

I ate some Raspberries whilst walking through the veg patch ... first this year

 

I've supervised the plants from my living room Well, before I had a nap on the sofa.

Just watching Wimbledon then I'll get out and water everything. Apparently it's in the forties on Centre Court - that's hot!

 

Dead headed the Paeonies - still a few secondary buds and flowers, although they won't put on much of a show. Ditto for the lupins; that should stop the mass invasion of blackfly shortly

im doing nothin' at all today myself....im just not able for this heat at all, i think im in danger of melting away!

 

Your garden is looking very lush, FC, it's very clear how much attention you have given it (and time!)

I've spent the past few hours in the front garden when I only "popped out" there for half an hour to weed the bed under the front window (which I planted earlier this year). Once that was done, and it took far longer than I planned because it has been a little neglected, I then attacked the kerria which is swamping the shrub border twix back gate and front wall. It was wonderful to note that the shrubs I gave a crew cut to back in Spring have all rejuvenated themselves nicely (except for the blasted kerria which is r.a.m.p.a.n.t! ). I'm sorely tempted to rip the whole bed out and begin from scratch - but, that would be foolish at this moment in time, so I'll just walk up the front path with my eyes closed in future

 

All looks neat as a new pin FC. Isn't the flower border coming on a treat? And a good idea to plant those nasturtiums under the firs as they are more likely to put all their effort into flowering instead of a jungle of leaves.
I like the raised brick box border in front of the GH too.
Lovely now,
Jenny

 

Like you FC mate, nothing but watering later on. I was outside watering last night at 11, so probably the same again tonight. It was 28c here so with my sandy, free draining soil it's as dry as a dry thing, on a dry day in dry land, drysville!

Garden looking fab as well mate, you should be well 'appy with it!

 

Getting the water feature fixed! It's a second pond (no fish) with a waterfall coming down from the top of the rockery. It's not finished yet, but all the tadpoles have been moved back in
