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

Today it was too frozen to do work outside but I did start reporting my mini plug plants. Only 600 left to do.

 

Wow that is a lot of plants there Julie.Also lots of work.I'm struggling to keep up with my lot, and I have nothing compared to you

 

Watered all my outside pots are bone dry.

 

You should bring them round to mine Pam...you'll never have to water them again

 

When do you sleep???

 

Not during the Spring

 

Potted on more seedlings today. I'm running out of space indoors, correction, I'm running out of surface space to put them on. I really need to get them in the greenhouse now but the temperature isn't going to rise until next week. Ohhhh, what to do, what to do?

 

Potted up quite a few seedlings, tidied up the conservatory to make space for the newly potted plants.

Cleared the garage for more potting space, riddled some compost ready for tomorrow.

Did some watering, and sitting down tonight to decide what seeds I am going to sow next.

Cut the lawn, quite pleasant in the sun, but still felt cold on the fingers.

 

I had a wander around mine (didn't have time for much else) so I can decide where I'm planting this year. I want to create a GC border, just for the seeds I've gathered from GC members, because I like the thought of one.

Noticed a couple of really fat frogs in the pond - the water was crystal clear, but I have noticed the dreaded green filament weed stuff forming Twizzle stick got some of it out but it's the bane of my (pond) life.

 

Waiting for the snow to melt, so I can see the garden....

 

I was going to plant out these 6 Primulas that I purchased from the Head gardener at the Hospice (£1 each or 3 for £2) but it's horrid out there. Then the doorbell rang , postie had a package from T & M for me. Had to get the stuff in from the garage and plant these 10 plugs up. They look so healthy.
Giant Fuchsias - 2 each of Bella Rosella,Bicentenial,Quasar,Seventh Heaven and Voodoo. Think they will destined for the North/East facing front window boxes.

 

Tidying my veg patch and shuffeling plants around in the GH ...i'm running out of space fast
