Watered the plants and seedlings, getting aphids on them so sprayed them with washing up liquid.

I got my grass cut yesterday at last.
Transplanted some wild Primroses, divided a couple of Irises, checked my seedlings in the little growhouses, did some weeding, planted some Gladioli bulbs, then started digging up that awful Creeping Buttercup weed, it gets everywhere.

Have other members started their Dahlias off yet? Every time I am going to do it, another frost is forecast! Grrr . . .

@Mups if you can start your dahlias in pots inside they will be fine, if not have to wait for the last frost, for me thatā€™s the end of may but they will catch up. I donā€™t grow them anymore, havenā€™t got anywhere to put them now and the slugs usually get them.

Thanks Logan, but mine mostly are in tubs anyway, mainly because I havenā€™t got enough space in my flower beds any more.
Thats a good idea about starting them off in small pots that I could bring indoors though, then I suppose I could transplant them to their bigger tubs little later, as long as they didnt object to being uprooted and moved twice? Hmmm . . . :thinking:

We got a bag of soil ready for the peas we are going to grow. It wasnā€™t enough so we didnā€™t plant the peas yetā€¦:frowning:

Iā€™ve been busy trying to get some order back in my gardenā€¦the house was empty for a few years and although there was a man who was supposed to look after the place all he did really was cut the lawns.

Iā€™ve just had a big old rotten greenhouse removed and lots of trees taken down so the place is looking a bit forlornā€¦I have lots of ideas though so just have to get on with itā€¦its hard work gardening

I think thatā€™s a good and enjoyable time and to sort it out and yes itā€™s hard work sometimes. :slightly_smiling_face:
