Weekend jobs
At my friend's:
Check greenhouse plants (cucumber, sweet potatoes, peppers and lettuces), water if needed - done
Remove dead/dying outdoor plants (tomatoes, courgettes, runner beans) - done courgettes and tomatoes
Weeding - done some
In order to have enough compost bin space to put all the dead stuff I had to empty out the bottom of the compost bin onto the space where the courgettes had been, so that took up quite a bit of time.
At home:
Continue weeding, deadheading and tidying up - done some
Remove dead bedding plants and french beans - done the beans
Put strawberries and other vulnerable plants in cold frame or garage (cold Saturday night, very cold Sunday night) - done
Empty some water trays and put in garage to dry (has to be done in stages due to lack of floor space) - done some
Harvest salads, peppers, carrots, leeks, eat bean sprouts - not really - got overwhelmed with tomatoes and windfall cooking apples that needed using.
Monday jobs (not hopeful of any gardening time)
Put plants back on the fences when it warms up
Continue tidying up if time

After the heavy work of the weekend, my foot is hurting today so I'm just going to do light stuff. If the wind stays away, I'll spray more weedkiller this morning.
I've moved a couple of pots of seedlings from the propagator to the blow away. I seem to have a heap of pots lying around yet again, so it's time to tidy up the business end of the verandah (again).
I'm expecting some sage seeds to arrive in the mail, so I'll sow those if they come today.Last edited by lolie; 14-11-2017, 09:37 AM.

Put away stuff in garage (again) - no
Clear leaves out of pond - done
Check strawberries - one may nearly be ready - not quite

A decent day's gardening today. Managed to get to the garden centre and buy some tulip bulbs, some of which I've planted in pots for the fence path. The rest will go in the big pot in the front garden when the osteospermums die of cold. Also bought some heucherella plants, which I expect to get massacred by vine weevil (to which they are very prone) but should look nice for the winter. Removed the dying geraniums and replaced them with the heucherella and cut down the white daisies which had finished flowering. I now feel in need of a nice hot bath to ease my aching back.
Also harvested some small cabbage leaves that had sprouted from cut stems that I left in their trough and some mizuna to go into the stir fry with the bean sprouts.
Wednesday jobs (work permitting)
