What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

Mainly been cutting and trimming bushes, but the post above has reminded me to go and tie in my peas !

 

Fed my toms and planted my 'prize winning' pumpkins...and a couple of marrows...

 

Mowed the back lawns done a bit of weeding, sown some carrots and salad leaves. The wife has cleaned all the patio. And I have had to dump all the annuals that I couldnt give away as they have gone all leggy.

Drowned my GH Tomato plants and they look poorly for it

I plumbed in an outside tap, (with the thought of getting a neighbour to water the GH whilst I am away)
So with the hose I thought I would give the soil border inside a good soaking just incase she forgot :-(
The Toms look a bit crinckly scrunched up top leaves tonight

What am I doing in the garden today? Diddly-squat.

Apart from the fact that it's currently chucking it down, yesterday I moved ½ ton of pea shingle from one end of the garden (where the Wickes' men dumped it) to the other end, where I spread it around to make the base for a gravel/stepping stone path around my new summer house and beyond - so I think I deserve a rest, although (assuming I can eventually stand upright), I may be persuaded into the arduous task of picking some herbs for drying.

 

Absolutely nothing.
I was going to go out and do some staking. Some of the Foxgloves standing aroung the Delphiniums to support them have leant right over following heavy rain and winds yesterday.
The Lupin heads are also bowed.
Unfortunately it has been Stair-rods since this morning, so they will have to wait for another day.
I'm not paid like Titchmarsh to drown in the garden + it just started with lightning

 

Went to a car boot with neighbour, saw plant stall told her to stop me buying plants .Only bought 3 Fuchsis`s and an Aloe,driving home we passed garden centre,just a look,2 clematis later

Think i will have to widen front border as 20 dahlia tubers arrived Friday,and waiting on plants from T&M 36 perennials

 

When i got in from work...planted out somemore lettuce and cut back thepoppies that had gone over...watered toms and pumped away standing water from the lawn

 

I have been removing yet more ivy that is creeping under my fences gggrrrr

 

went to a local but new to me nursery, bought plants, planted them, weeded the borders, fed my plants, and cut the grass.

sat out with a ciggy, a coffee and admired my work

 

climbing over my neighbours fence to steal all the shrubs SSSSSSSSSSSShhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone
