I watered my pots on Friday after realising that they looked a bit freezer dried. I think actually there was still some moisture there but was just being cautious! There’s rain expected later this week.
I haven’t been watering anything. We still get regular below zero temperatures at night so I thought not to do watering until night temperatures increase. Should I start watering anyway?
Great pruning shots, especially the climbers, Mr. V. They do plant them rather hard up against the wall, don’t they?
I am a very a careless tool owner so buy cheap to replace the ones I constantly lose. I don’t sharpen (never have them long enough for that to be necessary) but do clean and disinfect secateurs occasionally, assuming I can find them!

Not yet Marlorena.. tomorrow! I’m on ‘keeping an eye on elderly mother after her fall’ duty while my sister has a well-earned break. Easy job, she is doing really well.

Thanks all for watering info. I will see next week, if pots are still dry, then I will water. Borders and lawn is still very soggy.
I use wolf garten secateurs. Wolf Garten tools are bright red so less chance of loosing. I have both bypass and anvil one. I mostly use Anvil one as I get confused which way to hold the bypass one. This is my third Anvil one in 8 years of gardening and I never sharpened. I have been very careless and cut anything, even very hard shrub branches too. I think I should learn how to sharpen.
Doesn’t matter what colour they are, I still manage to lose tools Newbie. The pup is also proving adept at stealing them. I occasionally unearth rusted specimens in the compost heap!

I have not been paying attention to when it rained last. Are you watering pots?
I have applied for 3 days leave from work next week. That's the only way I can get some time to prune roses and clean up garden.
Should I start watering anyway?
But we should get rain this week... hopefully anyway
Are you back home now? garden looking good after all the rain?..
