Dug up the Christmas tree from the garden and potted it up ready to bring indoors. I do that every year until it becomes too big for the container then I start again.

Oh I cleaned up the leaf debris yesterday and put it in the brown bin for collection, only nobody collected it :frowning_face: Mildly annoying having to bring it back in from the front street, but hopefully next time it will be picked up.

904

put the tree fern to bed

905

Nothing! however, yesterday I received some loose rooted Double Hollyhocks which I ordered months ago. i usually have the usual single flowered hollyhocks but these are glorious.

there were no instructions about when to plant them just what depth etc. Can anybody tell me if they will be OK to plant straight out in the soil now?if so, I will do that tomorrow. It does say “Plant asap”.

906

Yes RoseRed you can plant them straight away, they’re a biennial or perennial.

Last Monday i started emptying the compost bin but had to stop half way through because my back was aching too much. Didn’t get to finish it i caught a cold off hubby. So i haven’t done anything else since then and next week i hope to start putting up the Christmas tree and decorations.
