What did you do in your garden today?

[DeborahJane]

Two thirds of the way through winter but managed a bit of gardening. Trimmed some of tbe hydrangeas this afternoon after the rain. I must get out again tomorrow and do the rest. One was quite black, frost bitten but nearby ones had quite green plumly new buds. I guess it's dead. I've cut it back and will leave it. I'm pretty sure I've been told that you don't trim back oakleaf hydrangeas. Can anyone confirm that please?

Just keeping everything watered in this heat wave and trimming back petunias.

I got plants! I bought bromeliad, a few violets, some vince, liriope, begonia, and 2 tropicals that I can't remember the name of, and a croton. I would like to get some ivy to drape down out of some of the pots still but we are off to the races!!

I picked more white currants and sorted the ones in the freezer. Running out of space.Cut out the old raspberry canes.
@tbendl I like the Buddah.

Thanks @Logan. Let's see, what did I do in my garden? I drank. I got frustrated with this dagnabit room of mine so I had 3 glasses of wine, listened to Abba, and moved pots around 675,876 times.
Although it may have been 675,875.

@tbendl I didn't do anything in garden today. It's been drizzling all day and this afternoon went to the hospital gym for the first time, for a hour, Did alright. Go again next Friday, i can start walking the dogs. But do it gradually. What is a dagnabit room?

 

[tbendl]

Oh that will be great rehab, (the dog walking). I love the organic rehabs, the gardening and walking, I wish I could get a doctor ordered rehab like that that would require me to only work 4 days a week and rehab the other work day.
And I was referring to my blasted sunroom. Hehe

I watered a few azaleas and Rhododendrons under a large cedar. Even though we received a nice rain yesterday, the cedar doesn't allow much rain to reach the plants underneath.

Morning all. No Gardening today. Might pick some more fruit.

Rain has stopped long enough to spray the tomatoes and spuds against blight, had a blightwatch alert yesterday.

Fed the toms in the greenhouse.

End of July and the bowser runneth over
