So,
Haven't done much in the garden the last few days. Have had two college essays to get finished for the end of term. Now that I have the time to spend in the garden the Heaven's have decided to give the garden a well needed drink. Haven't needed to water the garden for the last two nights which is great!! Just hoping that it doesnt last too long because there are a few little tasks that need to be done soon.
It's far eaiser weeding in loose, dry soil, so have decided to hold off on it for a few days at least. Am having to keep an eye on the seedlings in the Coldframe and the mini Greenhouse. Although it is dull and wet out, these little things don't get much benefit from the rain. The best way to water seedlings is from the underneath, as the heavy droplets from either the rain or a can/hose can damage/dislodge the tender seedlings. As a result, we are having to keep an eye on them and water when necessary.
And in the front garden the grass and weeds have decided that they like the lazy-beds so much they will make home there. And again, the wet weather isn't helping here!! Will have to get out in the next few days and hand weed the spud drills as well as earthing them up too.
Apart from the above, there isn't much else going on in the garden at the moment. Planning on filling a mini skip with some garden waste material over the next few weeks, weather permitting. Oh, and there is a great need for a new garden shed as the one that is standing (I use that term very loosely) is in a very bad way. There is holes all over the sides of it and the ferral cats have been making it a temporary home during cold/stormy weather.
More to follow soon!!
