    I finished doing the edges of the lawns in the front garden and have started on the back. I've been tidying up some of the beds as I go along. Mrs Shiney gets through more than twice as much tidying as I do! :phew:

    This is about 20% of the front garden edges :)

          Well it's been my day off today so been really busy. Potted up 2 clematis, 6 red hot pokers, 20 cannas, some of which were seed grown, 2 begonia's, loads of dutch iris, nasturtiums, and geraniums.Then cleaned the conservatory to make room for them. After that, made dinner, tidied up and now at long last, I'm chilling:yay:

            I'm hoping the weekend is decent weather as I've informed the (not so) little darlings they are digging the veg patch for me & helping with general tidying up of the garden...

              They are ALWAYS naughty!!!! :snork: No - I am fed up with them geeking on their computers and x-boxes all weekend. Plus the garden is in such a state, I can't do it on my own or I will still be out there come Christmas!
              Oh - and they are both after new computer games, etc & trying to get round me......:heehee:

                  Yup. Nowt like bribery & corruption to get them to do a bit of grafting!! It'll cost me plenty of bacon butties, cake, sausage sarnies, afternoon cake, mugs of char and not forgetting the cleaning up of muddy boot prints through the house, and the agreed reward at the end, but if it gets them outside, it'll be worth it!! :snork: (And avoid me an aching back :old: )

                  I cleaned out the Green House, with a brush and shovel, ready for a complete cleaning with Jeyes Fluid. Then I swept the paths again, for what seemed the 100th time, and added it to the Compost Heap which is getting bigger and taller all the time.:coffee:

                    Nothing in the garden today, was planting my nasturtium & thunbergia seeds which now have a nice warm spot on top of the aquarium. :blue thumb:

                      Kristen, I repeat......you guys make it sound complicated. :)

                      By the time you've all worked out the maths I'd have marked it out by eye with a spade. :heehee:

                          Hopefully if my alliplugs arrive tomorrow I will be putting the bubble wrap up in the greenhouse... Mum's finally got fed up with the plants in the living room so they have got to go in the greenhouse, lucky it's warmed up enough now!
