WHAT JOBS ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY 2019

@shiney I will have as much as you want to get rid of. Would it be easier for me to take a trip over to pick it up to save you potting it? I've got a border on the outside of our back garden and it would look great full of crocosmia...so plenty of space to fill.

 

all this gardening talk.... that flag is frozen solid.



gardening.... yeah, right....

 

I know it doesn't help but we did have a frost here overnight just kidding, I have to admire your perseverance and skill given the conditions you have to live with.

I attended a seminar this morning which was presented by Clarke & Clarke, from just outside Cheshire. The one Clarke brother who presented said he couldn't believe how cold it is or how much snow and ice we battle through. I told him that is why I felt safe in mentioning, that his brother reminds me of Peter from Corrie street, because this old Canuck broad is tougher than the young ones..

 

Cut back my clematis today after noticing it was starting to sprout.

 

Cut mine too mazambo
Finished top dressing front lawn.....another job done n dusted. Perfect weather for it too....very warm
Raked compost in veg patch to create fine tilth for seed sowing next month. Prob 6”/15cm thick; I will add fish blood and bone into next raking
Spring def here right now.....

 

No gardening as such but took all the leftover shed waste to the tip....and managed to pull out a reel of unused garden wire from a containers of scrap metal- Brilliant....I was going to have to buy some as I need to sort out my raspberries. As I fished out the reel I was thinking @Scrungee would be proud of me! Lol

 

Made some more soil blocks to re-sow peppers seeds - Scorpion Butch T, Chocolate Douglah, and 7 Pot yellow did not germinate.

I also made blocks to sow some lavender, sweet basil and oregano.

I sowed Cosmos in three hanging plant pots and then in two others, my Tiger Eye Pansies (covered to keep in the dark) and potted up some soil blocks with sprouted asparagus in them.

Going out shortly to put to some salt free ice melter on the front walk. I don't own a pair of skates anymore so will need to reduce the slippery stuff!

 

I need to check on mine as some need to be cut back and others don't. I'll have to look up the "destructions."

 

@Verdun lovely and warm here too, I've got an enforced weeks holiday so I'm making the most of it. Had a swap round in the greenhouse moved my propagators and put my sprouted seeds under the grow light.
@Doghouse Riley, only got the one so I just about remember
