Hmmm, just bought some physalis and hostas... probably got to nurse them for the next two months before I can plant them out, but I could not resist...
Bought Rose Burgundy Ice x2 and Rose Hot Chocolate x2 to join the single specimens I already have and make lovely groups of three. They are in pots and I know the nurseries send them out newly repotted so I won't plant them out for a few months yet...
Potted on pelargoniums seedling and odd fuchsia. Checked delephiniums to see if need potting on, found slugs and eggs in pots so checked lupins more slug eggs, sorted them out. And my cold frame was partly flooded so had to move that .
After swearing I won't have any houseplants ever again, I've just ordered a cinnamon plant, mainly because I've just discovered you can grow them easily. It seems it can go outside in summer.
And I've started a new compost heap (in a compost bin), the first one is heating up nicely now.
Lovely bright cold morning volunteer gardening. Six barrows full on the compost heap. Went home intending too carry on in mine and it hammered down then went dark ....
move 2 roses from back to front garden, planted a rose bought in container last autumn and planted philadelphus that's lived in a pot for 18 months, dug proper holes, added rootgrow and mulched with manure, feeling v proud!

I emptied out some dead primulas and squished vine weevil grubs.
