Planted a Wisteria and a Lupin Masterpiece. Dug up a bit more Acanthus which keeps popping up even though I removed it a couple of years ago. Going to be really busy this coming week so doubt there will be much gardening on the agenda.
Have been planting out salvias that were cuttings from last year. I have an Amistad that I'm not sure what to do with. Have one in a border but it dislikes the very hot afternoon sun we get down here. I'm thinking of growing it in a container now so that I can move it somewhere more shady.
Planted the valentine bleeding heart. Did some weeding. Watered everything as still little rain. Used @Marlorena tea water to water rose's. Replaced the red and black currants as they were not growing with new potted plants from morrisons £2 jonkheer van tets and Ben conan both with plenty of root and 9" tall growth. Taken side shoots off tomatoes and hand pollinated the first flowers.
Just watered all the pots plus one or two plants in the beds that are sensitive to the dry. Too little rain here to be of any great help over the last 2-3 weeks.
Did a bit of weeding and planted up 4 pots. Watered a few new plants. I'm off on Nanna Duty for most of the week now, except for Thursday when I'm a polling clerk, wont be much time for gardening
Planted up three more tomato's in poly tunnel, ordered more compost, hoed around onions and beans, dug and prepared ground ready for parsnip seedlings to go out later in week, cleared weeds around new rhubarb plants. Also had a move around in poly tunnel to make better use of the space.

I put my seed grown courgette and squash plants out to sell this morning - no big queue here yet.
OH started on the front garden by pruning a hydrangea that should have been done weeks ago. I pruned the olive tree, planted out some seedlings and removed more blanket weed from the pond, fed the tortoises, the birds and the neighbours cat and pruned some ferns that were well overdue too.
Lots of tillering in garden today where pampus grass was - still a small bit there with bee nests in nice sunny out today, got my squirrel feeders and new bird table up back on new fences
I was watching the great tits going in and out of caravan bird house and you can hear cheeping baby birds inside so cute, lots more to do in garden....
Some of my sweetpeas starting to germinate goodie and other plants
