Getting stuck in!

I have spent quite a bit of the day in the back garden, decided to attack the bed that has the fruit bushes in. I looked up pruning fruit bushes, haven’t really grown then before and don’t know much about them. That bed was our original rubbish dumping spot and has some deep rooted weeds ready to take hold. The rhubarb at the far end is coming through now which is good. I did in the end do much more than I had originally intended to do.
After an hour I was ready for a break so left the tools out as it was work in progress!
Went out again after lunch and got the edging tool out. I always do that left footed, doesn’t feel right with the right so to speak! Managed that okay with the new knee! Hoed quite a lot of the weed out although I know that will be ongoing. I made a new pile of twigs and pruning for Tina to get burning when the mood takes her! Can definitely see where I have been today!
Tina bought drinks out and we enjoyed them sitting on the swing seat. Tina spotted that we had some miniature daffodils in flower in the main bed.
Apart from a quick walk to the post box and shop earlier and sorting out some washing I haven’t done much else today. I did have a craft stamp arrive and found that it would print well on the watercolour paper so tried it on cartridge paper. Have used fine liners to add a bit of colour but will do another one using the pencils.
Today is World Bartender Day, they won’t be doing a lot of celebrating!

  1. That does look a fair bit of gardening. You’re making the most of the reasonable weather and the gardening bug. Glad to hear you actually stopped for a proper break while doing it. It all looks good though. I do like the miniature daffodils, so cute. The edging really does finish it off nicely. The family arsonist will be happy to have a pile of material to burn too!
    Love the new stamp. That’s come out really well. The little bit of colour just finishes it off nicely. I foresee some really nice Easter cards being made another day 😊

    1. Just need to give the bed occasional attention so that it doesn’t start getting out of hand. I felt like I had been working but in a good way.
      I was a bit disappointed when I couldn’t get the stamp to print on the watercolour paper but just have to find a different way!
