my apple ttrees are just coming into flower, but my vegetables are more prolific than we can handle. The Silver Beet. (chard) are almost growing as I watch.
And the garlic and broad beans are looking very happy.
Hello , finished paper work about 4-00 so decided in need of some fresh air , so as sun shinning did some gardening , cleaned up Hosta and clcylem beds put some gravel down , cut some lawn edges , 5-30 sat outside with beer and cigar as sun went down before dinner perfect day
Took a few more Salvia Hotlips cuttings before breakfast. Dead headed some violas and filled up some watering cans as the water-butts were over flowing.
Mum's garden today. Deadheaded the roses and started cutting down those with no viable looking buds. Fought with moss, this is an eternal problem in both gardens (on soil, no lawns on either.). Dad had four containers with bulbs sunk into a gravel area. I didn't touch them last year, as I wasn't sure how far on he'd got with his bulb planting, so I started digging out one of them to see how deep it was and what was in there. I didn't get to the bottom of the container, so pretty deep, but found a huge number of daffodil bulbs, many of them multiple. Split a lot of them and replanted them, layered dwarf iris over them and planted some violas meantime. One down, three to go! Have acquired a lot of daff bulbs by splitting.
