What's happening in your garden today?

[Dirtmechanic]

Is the hurricane season coming to an end now @Dirtmechanic?

It seems like it is just started. Landfalls anyway. Francine was nice to us. Wet but it looks like a salad shooter driveby on the lawn.

I put some fertilizer on the blackberries and tomatoes. Mainly picked up sticks from the storms.

Pulled up all of the pot marigolds around the path, cut off all of the spent flowers on the verbascum, put everything in the compost bins so next year they'll be everywhere.

I'm weedeating everywhere the mower can't get to. Since this is the first day in two weeks that there's been enough breeze to dry the grass off enough to do anything with it, I'm taking advantage. Looks like rain again though.

Cut off the old flowering stems of the lavender, gave it all to a woman up the road to make scented bags to put into drawers.

It must be disheartening when a hurricane completely re-arranges your garden. It's something we don't have to worry about here in Britain, they are so rare.

We have good weather here for the moment but apart from mowing the lawn yesterday I've achieved nothing outside this week. I moved house six weeks ago and have spent four days shopping this week for things that are needed.

Thank you @Anniekay. I've got Friday mentally booked for gardening but please don't tell anyone.

Nothing today all day it's raining.

Having sold the log shed below, I'm now re-organising the area.



Having removed all the gravel I intend to extend the bed and leave the area rough beside the Euonymus at the bottom of the picture, for a small composter.




Tomorrow I will pick up some more edging slabs and topsoil to finish off and then re-lay the rest of the gravel.



I've put some plants in the ground in another bed that I brought with me from my last garden. Also potted up two dozen daffodil bulbs that were a gift. I'll plant them in the garden after flowering next year, as I don't know yet whether there's any bulbs already there.

Another day of rain, so nothing in the garden today.

 

[Logan]

Nothing today it's raining, but yesterday i planted some wallflowers.

 

[Anniekay]

In preparation for the Hurricane due to hit tomorrow I cut back and tied up my Ce'cile Brunner rose that I've started training to the East side of my potting shed. The last hurricane in August broke off and cracked a lot of the canes so, I decided it'd be better to prune it back a bit too early than let the hurricane break more of it to pieces.

Picked up all my cutting in pots on the north side of the house and moved them inside, along with Cousin it and Yellow legs, my two Cacti sitting outside in pots.

 

[Sheal]

Batten down the hatches and stay safe @Anniekay.

The promised rain didn't turn up today so I've started pruning all the shrubs in the garden that need tidying up.

 

[Logan]

Nothing today it's raining again.

 

[Logan]

Pulled up the Snapdragons and did some weeding.

That looks like an eleagnus limelight there by the wall?? If it is, you'll have some lovely scent there for the winter.
