Post what you have done today in your garden here (or what you are planning).

[LeatherTrumpet]

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....

[Cherie]

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

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

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

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