What jobs are we doing today in the garden ?

I've got the day off today
Forecast is rain all day
Its raining now
:(

 

Today should prove to be a bit of fun, as I have my first group of primary school children coming to visit the garden and sketch the various sculptures.

 

Nothing yet again, it is bouncing down this end, have flood alert too

 

Getting the pump out again to get rid of the standing water

 

Well this thread is going to be quite today

 

Not sure, Aesculus came back from the fun fair all excited that he'd won a Guinea Pig. Since then its got a lot bigger & now has its own sofa. Eats all the Hobnobs if it gets the chance. Armandii feeds it fish.

 

Just watched and video'd the brother in law felling our dead apple tree may share the vidlink later on

 

Fed my tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. Surprisingly there's one tom starting to ripen. Rain's stopped play for everything else.

Lolimac, sorry to hear you're pumping water again. Will it ever end!

 

I've not done much at all in the garden recently because it's been raining too much to get out there

Rain was torrential last night, literally pouring down the driveway, but forecast to be better today with some showers later on, so today I will mostly be mowing the lawns (if they dry out), potting on some roses (bought another 'indoor' rose from Morrisons for £2, which again turns out to be four plants in one pot) and sweeping the top patio.

All of the above depends on this hangover clearing up - too many Stella Artois Cidres and too many dogs on the bed does not make for a good night's sleep!

 

Think my plants have given up waiting to be planted out, they are flowering in the greenhouse :( still at least I can appreciate them in the dry

 

Must rescue my Roses....they've taken such a beating from yesterdays rain.....plenty of dead heading ,no watering...only GH....check progress on my Olympic sizes tomatoes and prize winning pumpkins:WINK1:

 

Nothing !!!!!! Still Lashing down here ,unless it does clear ,managed to get lawn cut Thursday evening ,mower struggled ,and me

 

(bought another 'indoor' rose from Morrisons for £2, which again turns out to be four plants in one pot) I bought one of those must have a look at root system,still in original pot on top of cd player

 

Both ones I've bought from Morrisons have turned out to be four plants in one pot, each with its own root system, so pretty easy to separate. This is them after I'd just separated them. They are all outside now and doing pretty well



I've managed to get the lawns mowed and sprayed some weeds. It's quite nice out, sunny/cloudy but warm.
