What have you done today in the Garden?

Ta @Logan .
Had another little tidying up session this morning. A tad nippy though as I can't bear anything touching my knee at the moment and I haven't really got a ' gardening skirt' or an appropriate ' gardening winter dress '....so pyjamas it had to be plus a fleece.



Hydrangea doesn't get cut back for another month.
I did struggle a bit as there is quite breeze whipping through this section of our garden today.

Might do another bed next to this one this afternoon, see how my knee feels after another exercise session.

 

Hiya Oreti— nice work there. What did you do with the leaves?
Pretty nippy weather though for ‘jammies. Burr.
You are making such good progress. Very impressive.
It is so good that you can keep up with the exercises.

 

Hi @Sjoerd thanks.
All the leaves have been bagged up and hubs with carry them over to our lead mould storage area ready to use hopefully next year. Love lead mould and will never waste a leaf...so precious!!

Yes it was so cold..and then I had to come in to an icing session too. Brrrrr. I will wear 2 pairs of pyjamas this afternoon out there I think.

 

Oreti— I am so glad to hear that you are making leaf mould. It is so valuable.

 

Snow day’s a break from gardening. We finally got clobbered .

 

Really pleased with myself as I did manged to sort out the other 2 remaining little beds on the East patio this afternoon. Not perfect but at least they look a bit more 'loved and not forgotten ' now.

 

Most definitely @Sjoerd ,we always have made leaf mould......never let a leaf go to waste.

 

Cold but stunningly beautiful @Pacnorwest .

 

Thank you as you might imagine the snow covered landscape covers a pleathera of misadventures.
Also very happy to see your presence is slowly coming to that pleasurable adventure out in your beautiful garden again.luv the plants especially the Heuchera’s .
Sending positive vibes for the next phase of your healing journey.

 

Thanks @Pacnorwest .x

 

No tree lopping today, as it's raining.
My replacement corded electric drill I ordered on Thursday arrived today. Most people use battery drills these days. I do have one, but to drill multiple holes through thick concrete, something more substantial I think is needed. It seems well-made and is quite heavy, the body is all metal. It has a detachable side handle with which you can use the supplied depth gauge. It comes with a 2 year guarantee. Curiously, it was supplied with a spare pair of motor brushes.
At £42.95 I don't think I could go far wrong. They've sold, 1336 of 'em.

 

DHR Nice drill and Heavy duty drill looks like you have a new project in mind ?

 

Oo Oreti— your beds look smart don’t they. I like how you pictured your ‘sticks’ sort of innocently lying about. One day, they will no longer be a part of your life. You must be chuffed with your progress, I know I sure am.

 

Conditions not really conducive to gardening LOL

 

Thanks for the interest. No project in mind at the moment (apart from deciding what to do about the dying grass area under the acer in front of the tea-house). But I wouldn't like to be without such a drill, in case it became necessary.
