Wednesday is shopping day , still doing bits for neighbours
Managed a couple hours in afternoon , tidied up hellebores on stream bank and a few other bits Repositioned wildlife camera 🎥 on bank , did pick something up , other than cats 🐈⬛ & birds 🦅 but not sure what ?
I finished pruning the roses in the front garden, apart from the two climbers, couldn't face getting the step ladder out, tomorrow's job perhaps. All were beginning to sprout. I also pruned the wisteria shorter as it's beginning to stick up above the terrace wall.
The roses are done, and most of the field maple has had its bi- annual cut. Just received my root trainers that were on order, so now chomping at the bit to get planting sweet peas.😁
Had a bad nights sleep so was up before the sun and planted out my broad beans. Made a couple of big cloches from timber, blue water pipe and clear plastic and hopefully they will protect the beans.
Had a big builders bag of soil filled when replacing a small lawn last year and from tackling the ground elder rampant through the border next to it. It was very heavy and stuck in a corner of the garden, but today I emptied it into 4 old compost bags and chucked the soil into the hedge over the road. And pulled out some old plastic in the hedge and put it in my bin as a thank you to the hedge. Took a spade to the erigeron growing alongside my porch. It will grow back but hopefully not so rampant. And finally got the stubborn root of a long dead camellia out of its pot to bring that pot back into use. Now having fun planning what I'll be planting it with.
Cut down a few perennials and grasses with a rechargeable trimmer... cut each one down inch by inch, so I could leave the short trimmings to mulch down where they fell.
