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

Strimming

 

General tidy up (putting things away where they belong!), finaly got around to moving the Crocosmia, widened the main back border so it reaches the path, took a Fescue Blue out of a pot divided into 3 and planted out in the border and rockery. Cut back the Tom's, hopefully this will help ripen them. Drank copious amounts of Ginger Beer.....

 

Weeding and potting on today.

 

The only thing I have done in the garden today is to pick a pepper from the greenhouse to make some Broccoli, Sweet Potato and Chilli soup.

 

Can I come around,sound nice just up my street.

 

Well my bonfire has had two complaints so say the enviro people on the answer phone and apparently a letter has been sent ,not arrived yet.
Incinerator was sold to me by I think the complainer,waiting on phone call from enviormental.

 

I have been clearing a very shady bit of garden for planting. Now I just have to find plants that like deep shade to go in it.

 

Hopefully some inspiration, if not some wallet-lightening!, here:

The ongoing battle against the ground elder...

 

Roundup, Roundup, Roundup ... RawHIDE!!

 

Pretty much!!

 

I've taken two feet off a 45ft long hedge, collected some seeds and fed the tomatoes.

 

Retired the tired looking Trailing Lobelia from the wall planters to the compost bin. Replanted the wall planters with grown from seed Pansies (F1 early Mix from Mr F ), some of them are a bit leggy as I left them in the seed tray too long. I have plenty of back ups tho'

Dead headed everything, so all the buds ripen and open in time for a gathering we are having on Saturday, was a bit brutal at times, even if the flowers were only just turning they were chopped

Stress levels rising ........

 

I thought that was picture of my fires and wondered how? Ha ha.
Very similar to mine.
