What have you done in the garden today?

Some men folks pee in the garden, to keep the foxes away apparently, I don’t, I welcome Foxes!

You can use pee to fertilize the plants. Watch this video

A lot easier for men to pee outside than for us ladies though. :smiley:

Yes of course but the ladies can use a container to catch it in.
I think this is part 2 or the other way around.

Mowed the meadow, (I hesitantly call it a lawn more like grass) I fed the grass before going away, mistake, it was a good 9 inches tall in places .Good job I’ve a petrol mower.

We planted some Dahlias rescued from a diy shed going for pennies before we went away, gave them an overnight soak planted them, and now they are away.

Done nothing today, but I did order a new rose.
I had this one years ago, and it was very pretty, with lots of blooms, so I have ordered a new one.
It’s only diddy, not much more than a foot high, just right for a patio pot.

Started planting up a border with lilies, cosmos and tomorrow plant the Snapdragons.

Thanks Logan.
It’s is a pretty little rose, and keeps reblooming for ages.

Yes, I’ve got a load of Cosmos to plant out too, but its just finding the time isn’t it.
I’ve grown the ‘Dwarf’ ones in just two colours - deep red, and creamy white. They are called ‘Rubies in Sunshine.’

Hi

Not the best of days for me health wise.

Went out with Paula, loads of stuff to the tip, she is very strong and organised.

More compost and pots on the way home and then she filled up my car for the tip tomorrow.

Not long to go now before the entire thing is organised.

Time to take a break now, stand back and just enjoy it growing.

Yes I have to spread the planting over a few weeks because of time and my back.

Yeah, I know the feeling of a bad back. :unamused:

I wonder does anyone know what plant this is
I found it when I cleared a corner of my garden
it looks oriental
green leaves with white flecks and the stem is multi coloured
very unusual

Hmm :thinking: Really not sure about that plant, Summer.
The only slight possibility is it could be what they call Zingiber Zerumbet - also known as Bitter Ginger.
If so, it will develope red cone shaped flowers later in the summer.
It doesn’t seem to be poisonous.

Perhaps someone else can help you identify it better.
