An overcast start

This morning was still very warm but overcast so after I had been to the local shop I decided on making a start on tidying the front bed which was well overgrown and the larger bushes needed tidying. I worked outside for a couple of hours and stopped when the sun began to break through
I took a photo in case I didn’t make it back outside.
I put the tv on for a while and ended up watching Highway to Heaven! Although it was sunny I went out into the back garden and tidied up a path in the walled garden. I will get that area sorted!
I cam indoors for a while again, had something to eat  and watch tv for a while. Just after eight I went out again, put a few plants into the front bed and did some dead heading and then did several cans of watering.
I really need to do much more watering but have to admit that humping numerous watering cans around our very bit gardens does not fill me with joy!

  1. You’re mad. Gardening in this weather, overcast or not! It does look better though. The house looks really nice from that view. Rather posh really 🙂
    You should have carried on watching tv. The garden is like a magnet to you. It draws you out there regardless of weather 😊 Again it does look nice after you tidied it, so well worth it.
    The hosepipe ban is a real pain for you. You need to rope the other householders into the watering routine rather than struggling on your own! Get the big strong man to fill and carry the watering cans to you 🙄😊

  2. At least it looks a bit better for the passers by now, loads of people stop and stare at the house pretty much every day. When I am out there I tell them a bit about it.
    I will try to rope in some help with the can carrying, I am getting too old for doing more that a couple!
    I have more plants to get in, but that will men more essential watering! Occasional rain would be welcome!
