been down garden 715 this morn bit more weeding picked up the weeds I pulled out yesterday filled up the last bin jammed it down as hard as poss will have to put a piece of black plastic down for next weeds planted the last 25 winter cabbage yesterday today the 23 brocalli that is it until the pickling onions dry and can get sorted for jars will get at least 3 big jars if not 4 keep me going for a while
Gardening on hold here too, but because it's whizzing it down
Glad though, think it might smarten things up nicely (I don't water)
Yesterday I tidied up the back of the shade border. The bees had the best of the campion and woundwort and it had started to look manky and leprosy ridden. A gap there now, apart from two 'perennial' foxgloves I uncovered. Hopefully they will flower this year, chucked some mixed honesty seeds down too.
My primulas have germinated, vialii and various drumsticks, my Autumn snaps seedlings have vanished but one. I accuse the one-footed beasts but have no proof.
Relocated a verbena bona from the lawn mess and pricked out some toadflax and eve prim weedlings I'm growing for a thin strip of land I've requisitioned next to my front railings.
Might do a bit of next year planning/bulb list making now
I am beside myself with excitement. My Gardeners Garters won't spread...I know I know I kill Japanese anemone too, so I took a handful of seeds off it and planted them in a seed tray. I CAN SEE GREEN!! and not just mossy crust either...
I didn't even know if I was planting the right thing or just wee bits of dust but lo and behold I might have seedlings coming. Woo Hoo!
