Today's productivity

ruricHaving found I'm not away this weekend but next weekend I decided to make use of a free afternoon to be productive.
The refuse guys emptied my bin this morning (which they're not obliged to do as I'd not put it on the pavement) but they kindly flipped the lid and grabbed the two bags in there. Which meant my tip run was a little lighter than anticipate. But I removed 3 bags of rubbish and recycling and then popped into the garden centre on the way home. I'd bought more bulbs than I have pots so came up with a plan to have a couple more small window boxes at the base of the rose in the front garden. I may also have bought a few more mini houseplants and viola's while I was there and compost.
By the time I got home I had just about enough light left to finish planting the remaining large window box and the new ones. So the tiny front garden is now planted.
I still have the 2 window boxes and 5 pots on the porch roof, 1 hanging basket and the 3 living room window boxes to plant. That's a task for Friday afternoon/evening and possibly Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow night I'll plan what bulbs go where and what need to go down to the allotment.
The weather looks set to be warm and sunny on Saturday and Sunday so I need to sand and paint the front gate (one coat Saturday and one Sunday) and get two coats of varnish on the back door before the weather turns. I forsee early mornings this weekend. And there's now the allotment AGM Sunday afternoon so I need to get a wiggle on with jobs around home and garden.
To finish the front garden I need to weed the path, sort out the area around the bins and put some membrane and chippings around the base of the climbing rose to stop whatever is digging there from digging.
