I have spent all day in the garden. Put the bubble plastic up in the greenhouses today and I've put some of my fucshias in for the winter, pulled the sweetpeas down (they were rubbish this year). The weather has been really sunny today and hopefully tomorrow will be the same so got to make the most of the good weather. Just spent the last couple of hours looking at seeds to buy (on ebay), some are really reasonably priced and not such high postage as T & M and Unwins either.
Another cream crackered poster here! Feel as though I'm catching up with all the stuff that should have been done through the year, but the weather was so awful I didn't have a chance. G&T at my side as I type.
I too have been taking fuchsias inside, found the dreaded vine weevil grubs, but have taken cuttings before disposing of the plants. Now sitting with feet up and glass of red to hand. Hoping for another sunny day again tomorrow so can continue. Happy gardening to everyone
Putting the garden to bed for the winter is a hateful chore but it needs to be done. Ive got so much rubbish there is no more room in compost bins. Hope to get to the allotment this week as the weather looks to be good. Shall watch the repeat of Downton this afternoon as i never seem to stay awake long enough to watch it on a sunday evening. Think if a i stay awake any later than that i will turn into a pumpkin
Another busy day in the garden. Planted 30 Polyanthus plants into the garden today plus 20 Hyacinths. All my fuchias are now in, though I do bring some out during the day for the bees, they love them. I can't help it, I'm just a softy.
I spent all day in the garden, had a really good clear out of the veg beds and GH. I'm pleased to say judging by the number of fat caterpillars and eaten veg leaves deposited in the compost bin, Zoomer's garden has probably contributed to a huge increase in the UK's butterfly population this year and next
Due to all the rain couldn't get out there enough this year to squash them, if the birds aren't pinching your currants, caterpillars are munching your veg
In the garden all afternoon, my sedums are in full flower And alive with bees, insects and moths. In the process of rejigging one of my beds and still trying to dig up a wandering phygellus. It's such a thug! Lots of recent plant acquisitions to put in. Have improved the top foot or so of soil, but solid clay below. Looks like 2 sunny days coming up, but will be working, typical eh?

Another beautiful day, visited friends for coffee at the National Arboretum instead of gardening, very pleasant

If we did that there'd be grounds for as ASBO
