The first one is of the vegetable plot. Derek has dug all the beds and has dug compost in. Sue and Peter from next door have cut the grass around the vegetable plots and around the greenhouse. There is some chard and also the strawberry plants on the right are flowering. How neat and tidy is this now. In the background are two compost heaps - the right hand one is like a skyscraper!
This is the fish pond. It was just full of weed and hardly any room for the fish. Derek and Peter have cleared it and it looks great.
Photo below is just behind the fish pond and was an ocean of weeds. Derek removed the sweetpea canes, and then all the weeds - it took him all morning. As you can see we have some rhubard. The raspberry canes on the right will also need to be sorted out at some time.
This is of one of some clematis clambering up the fence.
Looks lovely Sally. What a transformation! x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be getting the garden looking ship shape, much more relaxing to sit in a tidy garden xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I did find that sitting in the garden when it was sunny really helped. So much love xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sal!
ReplyDeleteGarden is looking great!
I heard from Anna that you've moved into the hospice for a bit, I hope you're settled in well there and are not in too much pain. I am sure they're looking after you well.
I was wondering whether you might be interested in listening to podcasts? I listen to a couple that I really enjoy and they're full of really interesting facts and stories. These two are my favourite -

http://www.radiolab.org/archive/
This American Life is mainly stories about peoples lives and RadioLab is a bit more sciency but is really easy to follow and really interesting as its usually about people's lives too and how the body works etc. Anyway, I've put the links here if you're interested you can give it a go, they're both free! The only downside is that they're both a bit American, but once you get used to it, I can listen to them all day!
I hope you can get online at the Hospice and you can read this, I would love to come and visit you when you're feeling up to it so I'll keep in touch with mum to find out how everything is going. Lots of love from Libby xxx
