29 March
Refreshed container water for coleus cuttings – two have roots sprouting, one seems to be a dud.
Planted a few more saxifrage, and gave the corner a temporary border.
Repotted Acers into Ericaceous compost and bigger pots.
Potted the two new hydrangeas. Got them for super cheap as marked down surplus stock of mother’s day gifts (£2.16 for rooted, blooming hydrangeas!)
Mom decided to mark her mother’s connection by doing the final potting under my guidance.
25 March
Went to London with parents. Borough market (Brindisa stall is gone 🙁). Tower bridge (glass floor walkways are real fun). Oxford Circus, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square.
26 March
Gardening. Trimmed the fuchsia. Mowed the front lawn. Started the begonia tubers.
27 March
Costco morning. Among other things, got an air fryer, three mid-large pots, bags of ericaceous compost and feed (Acers aren’t happy ATM), and pack of Gillette shaving gel cans.
Used the air fryer to make samosas. Yum!
Finally learnt how to use shaving gels, and shaved. About time! And oh so awesome 🙂
Spoilt the atmosphere by breaking the news to parents that they won’t come back to Guildford once they leave on the weekend.
18 March
Planted long overdue primroses.
Trimmed Sedum and Hydrangeas.
Potted carnations cuttings
19 March
Watered all indoor plants.
Fed liquid feed to most outdoor plants – roses, clematis, Acer, chrysanthemums, campanulas, etc.
Did top dressing with solid feed for all Hydrangeas.
Topped up wood chip mulch.
20 March
Planted saxifrage on leaf much. Trying to create a carpet.
Planted a few other ground cover plants to preempt the weeds
De-weeded the front flower bed (weed = ever spreading Japanese anemone)
