Seven Jobs for the week

Too tired after reading all that ^^^, I’m just going to do nothing!

I second that Jay. Anyway even if I make a plan just for one day, it goes to pot the moment I step foot outside and get distracted. I managed to complete very little of yesterday's plan, but achieved a whole lot that wasn't planned.  Who needs a plan anyway!

I have to work from lists exactly because of those flipping distractions - I'm a person who needs a plan otherwise I'll just sit and watch life in the pond all day. Humm, not such a bad idea

Think I might need to add shovel snow to the list for the end of the week

What perennials did you order PP, give me some inspiration.

They are to go on a south facng slope, full sun, and continue (and finish) a bed which is (almost - damn that golden rod!!) all blues and whites, with some grasses.

Stachys monieri Hummelo alpine betony x 3 10.39€
Eupatorium Snowball Joe-pye weed x 3 11.45€
Veronicastrum Fascination culver’s root x 3 10.39€
Geranium Brookside blue crane’s bill x 10 20.65€

The geranium will meander back into the original planting, hopefuly linking the two. I'll be getting some more grasses plus have agastache & cosmos to fill the gaps.  Next year I'll shift out the wrong coloured plants, if I can be bothered!

1. Dig foundations for the new greenhouse base - Three quarters done!
2. Lay foundation for greenhouse base - Some done!
3. Make sure I have bolts and bits to bolt the base together - Delegated to Jay
