Jab and gardening

My appointment for my spring booster jab was at nine thirty, I was seen quickly once he found the correct sheet with my name on! It was uncomfortable when he did it, but that soon wore off and it has felt okay all day. Most of the day I spent in the garden, I do want to get that bed next to the greenhouse ready for planting. I dug a couple of dandelions out of the rockery first and there was a bee hiding inert!
A picture of the bed when I started today and one when I stopped to get lunch.


The roots up by the was were even more densely packed! I dug out the giant snowdrops, there were a lot! I have added a picture of some still in the garden, past their best but you get the idea. If anyone wants some let me know, I will get them dried and ready for autumn planting.


I did dig the bed over twice more but will just post the picture of how I left it when I came in. Another turn over, or maybe two get get it as lump free as possible!
There is a large crow coming to the garden that uses the round bird bath, and has been tipping it over! I saw him earlier and he had a lump of bread from somewhere and was using the water to soften it! Clever.
I have done a few chores but it is feet up this evening as I spent quite a long time gardening today.
Tina is off tomorrow and depending on my arm nd her foot, we may, or my not go out for a bit!

    You’ve been quite busy again then. You should be a bit safer from the covids now you’ve been boosted. Hopefully you won’t get any after effects from it like a lot of people are. Sounds like they’ve not appeared today, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻
    You’ve done a fair bit of gardening today. It doesn’t look a huge bed but by going right back to the greenhouse base it means a lot more roots to get out, as I’m sure your achey muscles can affirm! It’s looking good though. I’m sure before too long it’ll be full of wild flowers and attracting lot of butterflies.
    What a pair you and the Rev are! You’re arm, her foot. She needs to have a word with her boss so he can sort you both out 😂 Hope you do make it out, it does you both good to have a little break.

      Not an exciting day, but quite busy nd productive! The worst is done, a couple more goes to break it all down a bit more and try and remove a few more roots.
      It’s my knees that are really sore at the moment, the arm is only sore if I touch it so may not be able to lie on that side.
