@Songbird-1 I take all my cuttings beginning of September, sections of non flowering side shoots. I do it then along with all my cuttings as I have time and space to deal with them. @GWRS we have some hotlips which happily stay out all winter while our other salvias don't. The hotlips are going though as they refuse to make a decent plant, they just go all straggly.
Potted on 12 verbena borensis, 50 aquilegia miss m i huish, 6 Dianthus and another 24 plants of name I forget. Pricked out a 15 aquilegia Scott Elliot.
@Songbird-1 all the plants are destined for the borders. I'm beginning to swap aquilegias this year as they are meant to be short lived, hence why I have so many.
@purplerallim yes we find all the seedlings come up with a rather insipid pinkish flower. The miss m i huish are a deep chocolate flower and a real contrast to all our bright coloured flowers.
Yes that's the wild colour @Wilderbeast , but I have purple and white colours too in my self seeded, so the odd pink gets tolerated, but not allowed to seed.
Cut the grass front and back, even did the edges properly which I admit I don't always do. This is only the second cut so far this year, I need to feed & mosskill but remarkably it's a bit too dry at the moment, this Arctic wind is just taking all the surface moisture away.
Pruned back an Artemis which was showing some new growth. Messed about with the next compost bay (the redesign is going slowly due to a large house project), the current hot bin is bubbling along at 65°c. Weeded out some MORE dandelions. Collected up plant pots which had been blown all over the garden.
This morning Onion sets into cells in the glasshouse, about 150, and sowed runner beans in pots in the glasshouse, normally grow about two dozen, potatoes tubers planted last week outside in their prepared plot,
