Planting out, cleaning up

Pruned lower branches from Camellia and one lower branch from fig where we walk to the lower lawn.
Planted out salvia and marigolds in the bed by the middle lawn.
Weeded the vege bed, herb bed.
Pulled Tradescantia fluminensis from bed by woodpile. There is a lot in the bed below the pool, but there are nesting blackbirds there so I am reluctant to pull it yet.

Planting out

Cleaned bed by middle lawn and planted out 6 perlagonium, 1 seedtray cosmos, 1/2 seedtray red salvia, 1/2 seedtray lobelia.
Planted out 1 tray marigolds around the vege patch.
Moved some gazenia from in front of the fence to the prepared bed by the blue furniture.
Cut down some of the kawakawa and larger weeds near the pool.
Thinned out weeds in lower canna bed, but it will need spraying. I will need to mulch it to keep the weeds down.
Potted on 6 tomato plants.
Sown two 8cm pots coriander.

More seed sowing - salvia and cosmos

Put together another seedtray, repaired an old seedtray.
Sown one seedtray of red salvia.
Sown one seedtray of cosmos.

The weather has been wet for much of the week, with warm air until Friday.

Weeding and sowing

Sowed seven butternut squash in modules and 5cm pot.

The seedtray of lobelia are showing. The sowing is quite dense, so some thinning will be required soon.
Hoed weeds behind the vege patch and under the grapefruit. Sprayed the remainder with Roundup.
Weeded the hellebores in the front. They are doing well. Calendula bed weeded, and the calendula are flowering. The calendula in the front bed will flower soon.

Sprayed the oranges with Copper Oxychloride.
