What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

I potted up my tipsy pots then came back indoors and made fresh blueberrie triangle oat scones.

And it still rains.

 

Been like that all day here too Scotkat. Bon appetit,

 

Here's my little Maskotkas Jenny.....Bless um

 

They look nice and stumpy Loli. How deep is the root run that you've given them for their final position? There "day of judgement" has come them. They have MY blessing too,

 

The troughs are about 8/9"....that should be fine as it says they are suitable for baskets and containers

 

Thanks for that Loli Too dark to venture outside to measure up the window boxes now. I will do so in the morning. Won't it be grand, one day, when you and me are stuffed full of a meal of baby Maskotkas!!
Dream on

 

Lolimac, can I be nosey and ask why you have a mesh door on your greenhouse please?

 

It's to keep my chickens out Sheal....i've got baby gates on my back doors too...i don't mind the 'girls' coming in the house but they are banned from the GH

 

I'll lay a £ to a penny its because of the !!

 

I'm sure your window boxes will be just the job Jenny

 

Have done nothing in the garden since Tuesday but did a little wander last night (in the rain) to see what I'd do first tonight and couldn't believe how much things I'd planted only three days ago had grown. I love May even when it rains; do the ground work in March and April and stand back so it doesn't hit you on the head as it grows in May/June. Feels like the garden is beginning to say "Thanks, it's payback time". I think most important job this weekend will be slug patrol.

 

And of course, second weekend in May is when I usually start planting out the tender stuff which has been hardening off for the last few weeks.

 

Groundhog day for me.....potting on...potting on oh and a bit of potting on aswell

 

potted up the 5 new salvias and put the 4 young salvia patens Cambridge blue out to join them on the patio. Tucked in on the leeside of the mini GH. Out to a girlie lunch so hair,nail and war paint stuff to do this morning.(would rather be pottering...).
