A day in the garden, working not sitting!

These early mornings will be the end of me, swiftly followed by the gardening! Was out by ten past six this morning and walked to the seafront for a change! It was already warm as I was just in a tee shirt and summer trousers. Took one photo as I approached the sea and one more of the sea.


I worked in the front garden this morning, had more enquiries about the triffids and one lady had a wander round to see if she could see a plant she has been trying to identify! I weeded and tidied up the front bed, well, the front of the front bed, may get around to the back of it tomorrow. I got a couple of carts of weed and dead stuff but from a distance it doesn’t look like I spent over an hour and a half!
 


The veg and fruit box arrived and as ever I am delighted with it.
I didn’t take any photos this afternoon which was short sighted as I spent the best part of three hours and really made the part of the bed in the shade look so much better. Depending on the weather I will try and get some more done tomorrow, but I cannot be out in the heat so we will have to see.
Today is National Making Life Beautiful Day, that’s a good one. Will add an obscure word as well.

  1. I like both the early morning pics. The first one in particular. Worth going out early for the nice views.
    You can see a difference in the two pics of the front bed. It really makes the whole property stand out. Considering what it all looked like when you moved in it’s an amazing transformation. But on a hot day when your sweating and getting scratched by weeds it must be hard to look at it like that!
    The veg box looks great again. I wish I could get one as nice as that around here as I’d be very tempted to have one myself. You stumbled onto a winner there.
    Don’t go too mad out there tomorrow. You’re supposed to rest at weekends you know!
    Are you sure Tergiverstate means that? I’m not so sure 😊

  2. I think the veg box is good value, and the fruit and veg keeps well all week.
    Quite tired and achy at the moment so will see how the body feels in the morning.
    I have some cards to make and should get on the machine again, but the weeds give me a guilt complex!!
