What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2020

Finished digging and planting up the fruit bed so we'll at least have some strawbs and rasps next year. We have some existing strawbs which I've called the house ones, some Fenella and a variety which is dark rad and utterly gorgeous that I sowed from ones we got at a pick your own this year. Rasps are all new and Fallgold and Polka

Dug out a brick path, finding out that they did a double layer of bricks so have more than expected out of that! I'm looking to get enough together of 'old' bricks so I can incorporate into a terrace area next year.

More tidying of a front border and discovered several different azaleas and an utterly savage rose, you can barely see the stem for thorns! Have also noticed some form of bulbs coming up all over Going to be a good spring by the looks of it!

 

Good morning does changing all the bed linen (3 of them) and hoovering the bedrooms count or has it got to be in the Garden anyway have a lovely day and stay safe my friends

 

Agree with @Sheal We have a 20ft bed of them outside the back door and they have a lovely scent. The bed was already there when we moved in 49 years ago and decided not to dig it up when we laid the patio and put up the greenhouse. So the greenhouse ended up 5ft further away than planned.

 

Looks very similar to that @Sheal and definitely smells great.

Didn't get too much done in own garden but helped out at a school to start clearing their beds in prep for new gardening club thingy. Someone started it a while back but it's just totally overgrown and ramshackle now. Plenty of work still needed!
Back at home it was more to do with fitting a flue liner, easier said than done on the roof and not a lot to show for it! (and yes, those are broken roof tiles courtesy of my butt and boot)

 

Working from Home today and for the rest of the week So I took the camera and had an amble around the garden to bring me up to date on it's present untidy state
The Potting Table, in three pics, at the moment which is slightly over crowded with all sorts of Hardy Perennials waiting to go in the borders in Spring








The Patio is also looking a little crowded and I need to do some reorganising


The very front row in front of the large Bearded Iris pots are Hardy Perennials ready for Spring planting while there's another "clump" of pots of Hardy Perennials by the Compost Bins.




I've got a collection of 5 Watering Cans for use in the garden and another 4 that I use in the Green House


I've got Leucanthemums in the large pots that are still putting out flowering buds


The Rose "King's Ransom" which has never liked my sandy soil is still trying to put out buds a s well


While the Rose with no name is doing the same...


But the Rudbeckia "Goldsturm" is still proving it's worth in the borders.


Hurry up Spring!!

 

I did loads more weeding but I'm sure someone is following behind and planting them back in.

Mrs Shiney did her Autumn Wreaths last month and now she has orders for the Christmas ones. First one being picked up today.


My job in all this is to go round the garden cutting the plants for her

 

Got some deccies up
