Today has been a day where I had nothing in particular planned except planting a few more flowers. I bought the plants on Friday and decided not to plant them because we were going to have rain yesterday and as the ground is still quite dry I had decided it was best watered naturally first.
When I had had breakfast I decided to sort out some of the freezer and then make a Victoria sandwich while I listened to the Archers on the radio. I also made some apple sauce because I will be cooking a pork steak for dinner tonight.
When the Archers had finished and the sponge was cooling, I walked over to the garden centre to get some slug pellets because they're on offer and I have a lot of very large snails which my little birds don't eat, and as the garden is enclosed there are no other predators to eat them. While I was over there, I spotted a couple of other plants which don't mind shade and I have one or two spots that need something in them.
I spent most of the afternoon pottering about, pruning bits that needed it, planting and watering and eventually, when I had finished I sat down outside and enjoyed a slice of cake with a welcome cup of tea.
Now the garden is planted for summer, all I have to do is carry on watering and wait for it to bloom.
Don't you just love it when all the work is done. Your garden sounds so pretty. Nothing beats a sweet treat after all the work is done.
ReplyDeleteOh, I added coffee grounds around my hostas and they're thriving! Thanks for that tip grandma.
Hi Robin!
ReplyDeleteWhen all the flowers come out I'll try to put some photos on the blog.
Glad to hear the tip about the coffee grounds work for you too!
