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

Mowed front and back grass, planted out some Rudbeckia, tied the tomatoes up, looked at the huge pile of hardcore i have got to shift and managed to stand on the rake. Yes it did hurt and i hope my neighbors didn't see it. I was very brave and there were no tears!

 

A couple of pics. I need to get this grass out as it's getting bigger and I don't want it to start pushing against the waterfall bit and the lining... We just need to get the bigger stones at the back lifted to tuck the lining under there, then it's plant-buying and watching the baby frogs emerge!

 

glad there were no tears! And a busy day was had by the sounds of it!

 

Looking great FC, hard work is now paying off!
Also looking good Ellen

 

Thanks mowgley

 

Just got in from doing all my watering.
Had to clear all the patio areas as Tuesday the landlord has men coming in to completely renew all the guttering all around the bungalow. Also the gardener comes to cut the lawn, my dog is just going to ballistic with all these people round the place.

 

watered the garden , couldn't do anything else it was and is just too hot

 

It's looking good FC

 

Even watering doesn't help here in 35c weather. Here is the edge of the river property in April after the rains ...



... and here is a photo of the same area (on the left) taken yesterday ... it's all on irrigation ...

 

:( we all need a couple of rainfalls

 

Hi Ellen ... we need more than a couple of rainfalls but that will NOT happen for at least 3-4 months now, nada in between ...

 

Sorting through over 900 photos from the weekend at the air show hope to put some on soon.
Was a fabulous weekend with some awesome aircraft.....
