Oh treehugger - not quite the weather for inspiring gardeners is it? Hopefully the rain will abate and you will be able to get out and enjoy your garden again.
Continued to tidy up after the last few days of wind. Went down in the pit to remove more stones - there's no end to them yet. Did a bit of pruning too.
I did put a bag of garden stuff in the green wheelie bin. I don't really think it counts though.
It has been very grey and overcast here in Cheshire with heavy rain for about a week. But nothing like the poor people in the South West. Some sunshine and a bit of wind to move the very soggy leaves away would help. I dont want to squelch across the lawn any more than I need to.
At last after days of rain i was able to get put in the garden. Very windy but cleared some leaves, my son dug trench to bury the electric cable put in for my she-shed...i potted up some lily bulbs...and to my surprise my new magnolia is full of buds, i'm so happy i have managed to keep it happy....wyevale has 50% off bulbs, must go tomorrow or they will have sold out
Where are you joyce21, sounds very cold, and no green waste bin collection til march, ours in done every other week, and you bet,i cram it full to get my monies worth, still have a compost heap but only the best stuff goes on there ? Keep warm joyce
Got out this afternoon in the garden planting 15 giant allium bulbs ( orange size ) that took quite a while, kept finding large places of concrete .
Filled wheel borrow with annuals/ etc ready for the compost bin which is already full.
Moved the odd plant. Then a had a moment decided I was going to move two lilys and some lucifer crocosmias, for some unknown reason I thought I had dug the lilys out until I heard the dreaded crunch not only did I chop one but both of them, then I heard another crunch while inspecting the lily damage, just stood on the crocosmia bulbs I just dug out .

as its now rained solidly for 24 hours here, road and railways are flooded and all our local streams and becks are on flood warning
and i'm about to head out and do a gardening session with a group outside.
should be fun, shame we can't grow rice as that's what the grounds going to look like. (hopefully no one will turn up!)
