As an add on to my day in the garden, everything was fine out there except that I managed to walk across the mypex which is covering our potatoes before I realized I shouldn't be standing on it, my only consolation is that the tubers are not showing through the soil yet. The other boo boo today is when I sowed hundreds of wild flower and grass seeds - I was half way across the patch of bare earth when I realized that there was a hole in the paper bag and no seeds left in it. Not good but these things happen!
Shifted well over a tonne of rubble from our garden to the neighbours ex-pond! Dig out a honeysuckle and replaced with akebia. Rescued the pond plants after the neighbours large Labrador decided to go for a swim!!! Covered the veg beds with fleece as it’s turning cooler for a few days. Pricked out some oxeye daisies and filled the boot with rubbish ready for a tip run... and now it’s wine o’clock and a hot bath! 😀
Dug up a heuchera in the wrong place & potted it up temporarily. Started weeding the main border. Dug up a clump of daffodils now gone over which were right next door to a newish penstemon 'Husker red' to give it more room. Then I decided to patch a bare bit in the lawn (think there's tree roots underneath from a very big maple outside on the road verge). I had some turf I'd previously dug up so used that and watered it well. While I was doing that, noticed lots of tiny weeds in the lawn which I suspect is valerian so hastily grubbed those out as well. Finished by digging out lots of Jap. anemone suckers.
Did lots of weeding, sowed some more seeds, applied some lawn feed and planted some primula vieries which i found in sin bin. They were good size plants so i even managed to divide them I also did some wallpapering so i'm exhausted now.
Planted out three peppers into there permanent position in poly tunnel, sowed more marigold's, moved three Kniphofia I had in pots in the poly tunnel to there new spot in the scented garden. Ordered the new shed for allotment delivery on 8th so something else that needs doing:) Don't forget clock's go forward tonight so one hour's less sleep

Sowed sunflowers and salvia seeds that l got from the seed swop on here. Also painted trellis, had to be done before the clematis and honeysuckle really get going.
Hello all. Recently rejoined the forum. Planted up a clematis which was pot bound in the main bed to give it more room. Dug in fertiliser in all the pots and beds. I tend to use poultry manure pellets from Wilkinson’s these days. Patiently waiting for my new greenhouse, only another 16 sleeps before it arrives. 😊😊😊. Spotted blossom on the columnar fruit trees. They were new in last year so no fruit. Fingers crossed for this year.
