today I have been pruning, tidying up and been raking out moss from patches on the lawns and reseeding.

I had a Gin and Tonic after a successful football game....:cheer2:

Refilled the bird baths...did a bit of light weeding, we planted bee bombs last year so it’s hard to know at the moment what’s a weed unless it’s an obvious one

Sat in the sun, drank tea

leave the dandelions as they provide much needed food for bees in April.

I think i have a wasps nest as i have a wasp going in and out of one of my airbricks :amazed:

I had to stop one making a nest in the garage, 3 times she tried but sadly i had to stop her :(

But this is more suitable - round the back garden

:laugh:

:dazzler:

Just been to the local garden centre - bloody freezing walking around with my trolley. Bought some roses, Buddleja, Saxifrages some tools and some compost and pots etc

:spin:

B n Q never closed here

not really gardening weather it was today

but i did go outside for a small bit, just to check up on the garden, most of it is growing nicely again

blossom in my plum, cherry, currant trees :love:

im in and out at mo and great lumps of soft hail keep pinging my ears!

its been nice here albeit cold but suns been out all day, so we have made a herb garden with the kids,

The cannabis plants are doing great ��

i changed the habit of a lifetime, got my tree loppers out and trimmed back some bushes

lockdown has done strange things to people :laugh:

a lovely idea :love:

Me and middle girl LT are off to Dobbies in a bit

:dazzler:

Planted some Parsley,Mint and Corriander today

I potted in a lovely Pink into a nice Italian pottery pot and put some Chrysanthemum seeds into a seed tray covered with clear wrap and popped in the greenhouse. I also edged the lawns.

And i just sprayed all the orchid leaves with food

:hee:

raked oot the moss and cut and edged the grass yesterday, first cut of the year. will apply a feed to the grass in the evening and water it in. bought a book on orchids yesterday as i have 5 Moth Orchids and id like to know more about them -fascinating plant and last night there was a great bit about them on Gardeners World

such nice weather today is, done a bit of gardening too some new plants


yesterday had put vegetable and herb seeds in the ground

I really want a Magnolia tree but not one that get too big,any ideas on the best ones to look for ?

Mr C has the month off

Look for dwarf Magnolia's Kaz, though my ex neighbour planted what she thought was a dwarf version and it must be 20 feet :laugh:

this year has been a good year so far for plants, i mean last year i thought was warmer already around this time

OMG Cherie,lol, I love them but dont want a 20 footer:joker: I will look for a dwarf one.

.

online garden centres for us either


we used to go to garden centres before (but mainly around christmas time since our garden centres or some of them have very nice christmas shows, with fun decorations)

but online centres have better quality plants




i also love Bergenia's :love: very nice leaves and really nice flowers, got loads of them now

LOVE that black tulip one Cherie,thanks for the link
Like this one too Magnolia liliflora 'Nigra'
Magnolia

I repotted my Easter Cactus and gut back grass. I also repotted some wildflower seedlings that now have their true leaves.

I also for the 4th time had to get rid of a wee wasps nest developing in the garage much to the anger of the Queen but i did apologise

I didn't get any apology :suspect:

its a good company that one, had stuff from them before

I'm going to order a few of those on that link, and hand them out to my customers.

Hope mama karma gives me a big winner on the nasty ggs

i just ordered some plugs

fox and cubs and native foxgloves

I hate gardening but I did put some lawn treatment thing on the dog pee burns on the grass about a week ago. I don't think it's doing anything.

Dis you rake away the dead grass first?

Plus you need to water daily if its not raining

Cat fur in an old bird feeder at this time of year will get emptied quick by birds for nest bulding
