popular What have you done today in the Garden?

Again ???? (Private joke... will be expecting a private message from Pac)

 

Pac— I really like your pics this time. Very dramatic.

 

I like @Pacnorwest 's photos too.

 

Wow, wow and...wow Pac what absolutely superbly stunning pics. You really do take great ones ....I just cross my fingers and snap away and normally when I come inside to look through them I end up deleting most.

 

Well I braved our weather today, , it has rained all day but appropriately kitted out in my faithful gardening waterproofs kept me ( mostly) dry.
I have finally stowed away all the remaining flower pots and cleaned the remaining seed trays. These have been stacked in the newly cleaned out lean-to coldframe. All cobwebs with their dead prisoners have been cleaned out and shelves have been swept . On the next dry day I will re home the seed trays, hopefully I will be able to sneak them into hub's workshop/ garage without him noticing...if I get caught then I will use my backup plan....under my greenhouse staging...begrudgingly.
I will also recover the shelves but it was too wet and breezy today to attempt that.

Before .....
After...( with the yet to be removed seedtrays)


Next job is to identify these and decide their fate.




I always get my bulbs mixed up ....they just all look like Onions to me.

 

Orieti managed to get out the rain gear and the cleaning is done looks great. . Congrats. It all looks so nice and clean and well organized. Even your onions , err-uh bulbs are nicely organized. I am so proud of all the efforts you put in to get the job done. It’s took determination and of course dedication. You’re a ‘Neatnik’ like so many of us that post. Lovely to see it all and I can see the cold frame and lean-to both a good place to spend time sewing seeds , plant cuttings and lots of garden skills for enhancing your beautiful gardens . Your luv for gardening is in your hands heart and mind .. even those cells that keep generating as we all know time is closing in. Nothing is stopping you … Enjoy your posts very much.


Thank you everyone for the lovely compliments on the sunset-moon pics. Just goes to show ya gardening is always full of surprises. Just look up once in awhile ya never know what you’ll see.

 

Thanks Pac, your comments are so kind and encouraging.

The ' onions' are sorted by colour with a few ',iffy' ones waiting for my final decision . I will just dig some holes and plant each tray en masse. I will then wait with baited breath that they don't all emerge in mixed groupings.

 

It's rained all day again. Therefore, nothing in the garden. So I've binged watched "Dark Winds" on Netflix over the last two days. I've seen it before, but quite enjoyed it.
I've cleaned my golf clubs. ready for next week. I've put a few more mp3s on the USB stick in my car. I also watched the England Women hammer South Africa in their World Cup match.
I've also put one of my three spare tuner/amps on eBay. Although I buy a lot of stuff on eBay, I haven't sold anything on it for years. It seems a far more complicated process than before. So in the end a busy day.

 

Lovely Pac and Oreti.

I've been so lazy for the last couple weeks. Besides trying to stave off multiple deaths by watering I've only done a few menial chores: weeding, trimming and digging out bird-seeded wisteria plants growing in the garden beds. Trimmed the seed pods off the last crepe myrtle that just finished flowering. That filled a whole wheelbarrow since that supposedly purple one ( looks pink to me !!) flowers very late and profusely.

It's too hot still, and too windy to plant out any of the brassicas I have in pots inside. Supposed to rain next friday, though. We'll see.

 

Anniekay thank you .. I appreciate your comments.

The heat wave will be hitting soon as it’s a rare event this time of year here.
Keep kool and don’t work to much outside in the heat of the day. Maybe set up solar lights to approach some out side night gardening. Hey it’s just an idea. You’re talking to someone who hunts slugs and snails at night with solar lights.
