Tidying up.....

[Creemteez]

Lugging canisters of water up to the plot - seven of them - and then it only half-fills one of the butts! I have SIX water butts attached to various green houses and sheds and they're ALL bladdy empty. - However, stepson has got hold of a water bowser and has promised to get it filled and up to the plot next week.....Bets, anyone, on the drought finally coming to an end in a rainstorm of biblical proportions?....

Nothing to do with gardening but washing up after my kids have been round to visit.

[Florence Fennel]

Did that today too. Well some pong. And some worm tea. My hands absolutely reek!
My wife is not impressed.
I'm cooking dinner too!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Currently, moving pots around the garden (too many giant filled pots, not enough garden...) cause I can't lift them so the hubby has to (and does make it known that he Is Not Enjoying Gardening ), and watering (as I have to work a hosepipe system out as I cannot carry the watering cans. Am doomed if there's a hosepipe ban this year as it would take me a long time with two milk bottles or something of similar weight.

To those who hate washing plant pots. Well don't. I have never done it and my plants survive. I reckon a winter in my shed will kill off anything!

Either tidying away at the end of the day or washing out plant pots at the end of the summer. Having said that it's not the tidying away which is the issue, it's having to do it neatly so i can find everything i want next time

Definitely turning the compost - we often have rats nesting in there and I don't like the surprise of suddenly finding them. Having said that, if the exit of their tunnel is visible and easily accessible I have no such qualms about emptying a huge watering can into it.

I'm quite sad in that I quite enjoy digging, weeding etc as I find it therapeautic. What I don't like is having to carry a load of water to the plot when I've already managed to empty my IBC and 4 No butts and I really hate having to go home when I've not finished what I set out to do - happens all too often, sadly.

[taff]

the only job i really don't like is deciding what plants will live and what plants are going to have to go to plant heaven. I spent so long nurturing the damn things and potting them on [ some them only the once thank god] that I casn't bear throwing them on the compost heap.

[Gearoid]

Digging. I hate hate hate digging. I couldn't garden with Monty Don.

And having to check the lilies every day for beetles. That's a pain which lasts all season.

[Glutton4...]

I hate tidying, and cleaning; indoors or out. I weed for a living, and find it quite therapeutic, luckily. Compost turning, and smelly tea but emptying gets delegated!

[ginger ninger]

I hate deciding what to grow from season to season. I haven't room to grow EVERYTHING I want to grow .
