Potting on tomatoes and Cues,Re potting Blueberry,Nipping out Sweet Peas.....covering raised beds to get them warmed up....mulching Rhubarb and Raspberries and have a general shuffleing of seeds and plants in the GH to make room for sowing some Annuals.......

 

Loli, you put us all to shame,
go easy today please,
Jenny

 

Potted on some cannas and red hot pokers.
Cut back some grasses.
Plenty to do tomorrow though.

 

Another frosty start but eventually that big yellow thing which we haven't see much of recently tempted me (Mr HsuH) out to make some progress on fence fixing (see Fence Repair) while Mrs HsuH got on with more seed sowing in the cosy warmth indoors.

It actually got quite warm in the sun while drilling, chiselling and bashing to try to get the old fence stub out. Nearly done but the last little bit is proving to be stubborn so that can wait for another day. Hopefully today's weather is an indication of better things to come rather than another fleeting glimpse of what spring could be like.

 

With the reasonable weather we've had the last few days I've got the following done:

Scarified Lawn
Mown Lawn
Edged Lawn
Weeded Lawn
Trimmed Leylandii
Planted 7 Camillia
Dug over one half of the plot
Covered plot with plastic
Cleared rubbish away from back of plot
Made trough of herbs for Mrs. Frost

Some pics:



And in other news we sorted out Master Frost's bedroom:



Feeling quite virtuous this weekend so far! haha

 

Nice one nFrost

 

thanks Lolimac, you must've got something done this weekend. Weather's not been too bad!

 

I do love pictures nFrost - a written description just doesn't tell it like a piccie does.
And the little one's bedroom looks lovely - hi there Kermit !

Jens I like the seed trays on the window sill

Yes plenty nFrost we've done OK today for weather haven't we....ey ...and another good one tomorrow too

 

Thanks all!

Got another four downstairs in the dining room with chitting potatoes also. I fear Mrs. Frost is reaching critical mass and will soon get me to move them, predicting a couple more weeks yet.

Thanks for the heads up Lolimac!

 

We are like primed athletes just waiting for the starting gun.

 

Quite productive day today. Sowed some more giant sunflowers with the little un .
Potted 2 Phoenix canerias palms into larger pots.
Sowed some sweet William and more french marigolds
Potted on some cannas.
Tidied the borders and sorted the strawberries pot out.
The ground still alittle frozen.
Roll on next week when the winds are changing to a south westerly which in turn should mean warmer temps.

 

Pricked out my Celeriac seedlings - there's millions of the little devils!.., well about 80 really, but such a fiddly job. Most will go to our Community Allotment Garden, I will keep about a dozen for myself.
Yesterday planted spuds for myself and my neighbour in big, bucket size pots. total of 14 pots in all - four different varieties between them.
