A day of gardening!

Haven’t been it at all, my plan was to start getting the back garden tidy as there is to be a strawberry tea in there on Saturday. I won’t be here so will try and get it in shape before I go away. I took the weeds that Tina and I had removed on Friday up to the garden bin and took a couple of photos before I got started in the back garden.

The first bed I was going to work on is where the dead tree is and the hollyhocks.

Got that one sorted before I had a break.

The next bed proved more of a challenge, lots of brambles and bindweed and the weeds with long tap roots.

Up by the wall at the back there was a bush wit lots of bindweed and brambles growing through it, so a lot of pruning to do too!

Had a break and some lunch before I finished what I intended to do on that bed.

That was a fair bit of work but I was on a roll and want to get a narrow bed ready for planting as visitors will come in that way.

I dug it over and decided to get it planted up as I knew once I had gone inside I wouldn’t be rushing out there again today!

So a pretty good days work and feeling tired now, but in a good way!
