What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

I've been missing these antics for a couple of days, but-




Is that Boris Johnson trying to get away from Olympic Fever as well?

 

Dead heading is my main job for today and generall 'tittyvaiting'...might have a sneaky look at the spuds and harvest some Gooseberries and strawberries....can't wait

 

There are some plants gone from next to the shed and some pink flowers inbetween cordyline

Also some bricks infront of polytunnel and a plant pot on the lawn

 

Planting my 24 free plants from Homebase (Telegraph coupon).

Had a go at scrubbing the weeping silver birch - lovely splashy job and it does look better.

Moved garden furniture so I have a better view down the garden. Worth it..

Tiddled about in the beds - one job always leads to another
Felt euphoric at the smell of the Buff Beauty rose. Magic

 

Good most of the time but just you wait..... like me in Mid-Wales sent me down a single track for 2 miles came out the other end in the middle of no mans land

Have had similar experience twice now i dont really think that highely of sat navs for everyday use on the roads, would much prefer an upto date road map.
I rememeber once ending up inthe middle of nowhere due to a satnav, the driver had a hundred and one excuses for why the satnav had took us to where it had but at the end of the day it did not do its job - also i think you get a better idea in your head of where you are geographicaly if you use a map and navigate yourself. Maps dont lie to you either or have silly voices.

 

today I have treated myself to 2 unheated propogators so I have been going crazy with the cuttings. I had some that were struggling in pots with plastic bags over them, they look so cozy on the conservatory windowsill.

I have also been planting the bits I got from the garden centre... promised myself I would only buy 1, came home with 5 oh and I moved a few bits around too.

It's been lovely pottering.

My friend's garden needs a lot of work and it's making my fingers itch coz mine is kinda under control and just needs lots more plants....

 

I ended up doing a bit of weeding and then split some polianthus to take with us to the new house.

 

Finally got a minute to post some pics - spot the difference:
Looking good FC. Just needs a bit of pathclear between the patio slabs. Does the hanging begonia pouch face east or south? A bit of would help with orientation - do please try and arrange this for my next viewing....

Just been outside and it feels like back end of October!
Heavy drizzle here, just fed all the plants.
Got some funny looks from folks walking past, with me a watering can in hand lol
Oh well

 

Done nothing in the garden today ...rain stopped play.... except stare at my 'olympic size' tomatoe entrant

 

deadheaded the jumbo Lilac Suprise Hanging basket and topped up the 2 bird feeders.
Watered the Maskotka boys and came back indoors. Too cold outside to potter and faff about

 

You've got yourself some new fences FC, looking good.

 

I needed to mow my back lawn today, but drizzle stopped that. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't put weed and feed down a month ago now, the grass has gone berserk with all the rain.

I hope it's dry tomorrow, I'm trying to dodge cleaning windows.
