What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

Whats house work i go in the house for shelter

 

Hope your looking out all your tads in all ponds

 

In my house it's the chores I do when it's raining Joolz and can't get out in the garden.

 

Yes Fc that's it....if your lettuce seedlings are big enough shove them in a sandwich....
I'll be trimming my BUXUS.....planting a Deutzia,berberis,Olearia,Agastache and an Eringium that i bought a couple of days ago.....(i wish you lot would stop making me buy plants)...plant out a bit more bedding and trying to make it chicken proof...then i'll get the bunting up incase her Maj pops by

 

I have just cut my grass again before the rain comes..........oh I do hope the rain will come. Lolli I am waiting to see what Eringium looks like as I bought some in the mixed lot of roots I bought back in March. It looks like mine is just coming up to bloom.

 

Was tidying up my client's strawberry bed this week so have got a lot of runners with quite a few strawbs on them. They're in a bucket of water at the moment so I must get them potted on
Also got Cleome, Leucanthemum and Cosmos to thin out and pot on. Must get growbags for Bilbo's tomatoes. Thanks, Mike, they're doing really well.

 

I have a tiny Magnolia Susan (not much more than a twig) which I bought from Morrisons months ago and which I feared was dead, but it's putting some leaves out now.

Today I have re-potted a Rhododendron Praestans and a Sarcococca Confusa and potted a Choisya Ternata which I bought for the planter where I've just put the Rhodo but decided it was going to have full sun all day instead.

 

Sounds a good day's work done FC. Is this rain rumour up to the mark? OH has just sadolined the garden bench (ready for the residents' tea party on the lawn on Wednesday) and he won't be tooo happy if it comes before Pimms o'clock...

 

Cut the lawns yawn yawn hasnt rained here yet but it looks stormy probably need a feed as well I have competion with the guy a a couple of door down he has upt his game big time sprinkling away with feed then the sprinkler in action all last week thats somthing I never do is water the lawn I just think so wasteful I prefer to put a nitrogen feed on does the same thing and quickly greens it up .

Planted up all the toms into final pots as in two pots 70Ll to fill, dont moan normaly I would of done this 3 weeks ago but its done now and I did repot them all 3 weeks ago and fed I have taken 3 sets of the bottom leaves off so the firsts truss of flowers is only 6 inches from the rim of the pots now and all that stem in the compost will soon root away .
Fed all the daylilys with the seafood extract lots of "scapes" starting to form and on my new ones cant wait , planted out Kiwi Jenny self fertile variety I dont expect anything this year anyone else grow this one ?? any tips would be handy as in pruning etc

Thats about it apart from a large can of cider or two helps with the pain

Just been outside at 21.08. It's raining real rain - I can hear it going pitter patter. Bench is dry enough to take it .
All is well,

 

Well we have rain, rain and more rain, so today will be a mad dash outside for my bits and bobs, I will then take over the kitchen and pot up my canterbury bells

I figure if I keep taking over the kitchen my OH will see I really really need a greenhouse:WINK1:, plus when he starts to cook tea I will then be busy clearing my bits and bobs away.
