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

Cut away the old leaves of Epimedium " Bishops Cap" ready for the flowers soon to show. There are a few new green leaves but the flower spikes get hidden by last years mature leaves.

 

Pruned my roses, watered the greenhouse and cleaned and refilled the bird bath. Nothing to strenuous today having only had two hours sleep last night.

 

Ive been out for 4 hrs,weeding and tidying i was surprised at how many plants are starting to grow already after all the snow

 

After putting the basket brackets up yest, they looked all forlorn empty so just popped and got 3 baskets for them.

 

Popping out tomorra to get some plants to put in them then?

 

Ooooooh nooooo Jenny, I bought them WITH plants. £6 odd each. It'd be rude to leave them at that price!

 

I looked out of the window and cried.

 

Gave my Fushias a little water,checked my onions and chillis....

 

Cut lawns....nothing like the smell of cut grass. My flowering currant is opening its flowers. It's spring!

 

Don't really know where to start there is so much i want to do....the lawns are a no go area as they are saturated but there's plenty more to be getting on with....can't wait

 

Repotted a few seedlings, bought a new riddle so that I can sort out some compost.

Sorted out my herb seeds and got them planted, put them on the kitchen window.

Watered a lot of plants in the conservatory, it's surprising how warm it gets in there on the sunny days.

Can't for the grass to be cut, but do not know when the man is due to start for the season.

Hoping to really get the garage in order, putting things in trays, so that they are to hand.

 

Cutting the front lawn and give it a bit of a lawn treatment I have loads of dandilions again, and probably a tidy and declutter of the back garden

 

Veg patch dug over....even found half a dozen stray Parsnips ....quite a productive weekend....Parsnips,Beetroot,sweetcorn and tomatoes sown,chilli's and onions potted on,various flower seeds sown and others pricked out..... chilling in the sunshine listening to GQT
