Didn't have time for washing. Enjoyed the sun during the war on weeds. They should have realised they have a eviction notice now, suspect they'll be back but certainly would have annoyed them. Lots to burn now
Done some stuff - prepared a raised bed for veg, gave cut flower raised bed a rake, half did another one with chicken poo as the other veg bed.
Just seemed to be busy without doing anything strenuous - did yet another GH shuffle.
Sorry to hear some are still unwell, hope you are all well soon
Oh yes a question-raised bed for annual flowers(cutting garden), last year it had beans and peas in it, should I give it a dose of chicken pooh pellets,or sprinkle with Growmore(I have loads and I know the arguments against it but need to use it) or just leave it and feed the plants as growing?
I think annuals don't need that rich a soil but I just don't know
But have felt too poorly to do any gardening. Can't stop sneezing and coughing So have just done a bit a sorting indoors. Then sat on the sofa most of the afternoon.
Georgeous day here, still lovely, sunny and warm. Been in the garden all day. Lawns cut and planting spot ready for clematis delivery tomorrow. Sorted out a few things in the greenhouse and moved some of the plants outside to harden off. Looking at the forecast it's going to be nice for the rest of the week.
Did some weeking (fatal for back) so I might be sitting in the garden tomorrow rather than working in it.
Sorry to hear we have some more poorly ones ((hugs)) get well soon. Well, not 20C here, but 19.1C so I won't grumble
I've not been outside much, I've been working on Pa's eulogy - but OH hung 2 loads of washing out and got it in (folded and dry) so we've really appreciated the sunshine
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Went and bought new telly then came home and between myself and OH got the seed spuds in ground: during which our old next door neighbour from Hants turned up .
Had a lovely rest of day on terrace, having lunch , a couple of beers, a bit of sun then we all gave up and had siesta. How very decadent.
Sunshine invites decadance Hosta Enjoy it whilst its here. One of the things about our climate is you learn to grab the good days.....just imagine how bored we'd get with constant sunshine.......although the chance to put those boredom levels to the test might be nice too ....
hope you managed to find the right words Dove. Thinking of you.
got home in time for a cuppa in the garden whilst watching the sun go down. we seem to have been adopted by 3 geese and a very fat pheasant - so with them all crying out it was less than peaceful....but a nice sort of noise
Matty, i wouldnt think you would need to add chicken poo, isnt thst high in nitrogen? Beans and peas are supposed to fix nitrogen in the soil, not totally sure but i think nitrogen is supposed to be for green leafy growth and potash for flowers? My memory aint what it used to be, im sure one of the others will put me right
Sounds like youve all had good garden days hope those under the weather feel better soon x

Hello
Oooooh what a lovely day - temp 20*
Seem to have been busy all day
Done some stuff - prepared a raised bed for veg, gave cut flower raised bed a rake, half did another one with chicken poo as the other veg bed.
Just seemed to be busy without doing anything strenuous - did yet another GH shuffle.

Lovely day, even though not feeling too well.
Sat in the garden and planned, opened summerhouse for first time this year.
I think this really might be Spring.

evening all.
Glorious day but not much gardening.
Went and bought new telly then came home and between myself and OH got the seed spuds in ground: during which our old next door neighbour from Hants turned up .

Must get more done tomorrow.
