I would leave my house tomorrow but I love my garden too much to leave. I wouldn't be able to manage 6 acres without help @Verdun.
Weeding after the rain yesterday made it an easier task. Deadheaded the white single dahlias and cosmos - both are looking superb this year. I...
I love roses (the flowers) but the foliage is dull and uninspiring in the winter. Most of mine are old roses which only flower once (but it's...

I don't like shopping so I get mine delivered by Waitrose. They have smart, polite and friendly drivers who help you with your shopping and don't...
