I woke up this morning shattered but knew by the weather forecast that if I didn't get started on my garden I would have to wait another week as everyday is forecasted rain. I only had a few hours of dry today as rain was on its way. Thankfully hubby offered to help me as he could see I was getting anxious about it, I had asked my daughter but she couldn't help today and I couldn't wait until she was ready I had to work with the weather.

I wrapped my back brace around me puling it tight to support my spine, we then took a roll of green garden bag and refuse bags for the stuff we couldn't put into the garden waste as it was heading for the recycling garden. hubby put his gloves on and off we went pulling out old plants, recycling as much compost from each as I could, Placing the pots I would be keeping a long the wall the Sunflowers are going to stand then making an extra pile of pots for sale,I can't use them anymore so selling them and this will make so much room in my garden.

POTS FOR SALE

There is another pile of pots that I won't be using, who ever buys these will get the other pile free. There are a few plastic pots with the odd decorated ones I am only asking £20 think they should sell pretty quickly.

I have emptied my garden as I can't do it anymore, the back pain kills me then my knee's start then my body thinks I am having a pain party and soon joins in. I am focusing on Sunflowers that will sit along mu side wall of the house. I have a lovely picture in my head of what I want. Its going to look amazing full off different varieties and colours.

This is the wall I have earmarked for Sunflowers, I then have a seat opposite where I can sit and enjoy them.

I have kept all the black big pots, I know I can grow 2 Sunflowers in the smaller ones and up to 4 in the larger pots as that is what I have been doing over the last few years. I have my first round of Sunflowers in my greenhouse, I am waiting until they are all strong enough to be potted out. I have Red Sunflowers and Giant Sunflowers for my first potting then a large amount of Teddy Bear Sunflowers seeds planted, I have everything crossed these grow a these are the pride of joy of my picture in my head, these are the ones I want to grow the most.

The garden will look so much bigger now with more room to move around and more room for my pups to enjoy. I may by more ornaments and wall decorations for the garden as these don't need much work, once they are put up they can be left.

It only took us a couple of hours to get finished, My garden is ready for when my Sunflowers are, I just need some time to prepare the compost, I always add banana skin water, then a couple of days later I as cold tea to the compost, this add a few nutrients back to the soil, I don't know if it makes any difference, I have done this for the last couple of years and grown gorgeous Sunflowers.

I hope you succeed in everything you have in mind. I understand how it is when you see a picture in your head of how it should be. I hope your plants will not be capricious and will do everything right :)
I am also busy with garden work now. Fortunately, rain is not a problem for me, because I have a little greenhouse where I can work when it rains. On the other hand, every summer we suffer from lack of water ... Local authorities cannot fix the water pumping station in any way and there is not enough water, so the rain helps me rather than hinders me.

Thank you ♥️😁 That would be very annoying with the water problem, you need water barrels placed everywhere to catch as much as you can.
