@GWRS the boys think gardening is for boring old farts 😭😭, beach tent is set up in the garden so they can come out. The older 1 wants to Fortnite all day the younger just wants to Ninjago. Meanwhile I have to teach comprehension, maths and fronted adverbials (what are they ?)
My gardening today may well be just cooking a pork shoulder in the pizza oven for pulled pork sandwiches for tea 😋, clearly this doesn't count but it is in the garden
You could always get the boys to go on bbc bitesize and look it up for you @Wilderbeast.😁 Gets them off the games, and might be quicker so giving you time for the garden! Failing that get them doing maths in the garden, working out area's ,metres and percentages for planting.😅 Good luck👍
Blustery again but with plenty of sun, picking up later where I left off on Friday, preparing veg bed for root crops. I've somehow got into a routine where the veg plot is the weekly work, weekends I potter about doing other things and normal garden maintenance there is not time for during the week. Works for me, I end up out there most days but look forward to the different tasks at the weekend.
@Wilderbeast - a collection tin would have been a good idea, but all the plants had gone before I had time to organise it! Next time perhaps, I'm forever digging and moving plants in this garden. Spent the morning digging out wandering Jap. Anemone roots then decided to ask OH to dig a slit trench around half of the big clump so I could insert vertically some root-proof Terram to see if that stops the plants from wandering. I want a plant a rose nearby in the autumn so need to keep the ground clear. Will wait to see if it works!
@Gardengirl.. it's a mountfield from screwfix they've always replaced without a problem. Seems they don't like winter all and it just won't run apart from idling. Spoke to someone who works for a garden machinery maintenance company and he just says 2 stroke is pants
Very windy here today so I have been tying in climbers and sorting out an obelisk that threatened to pull apart. Have done a bit of weeding and deadheading but that's about all. Spent the rest of the day in a garden chair reading.
Long day at allotment , replaced a long section of fencing net , bit done in , having a couple of 🍺 before dinner . Took picture before & afterwards . A bit boring but it was hard work
