What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK2..

Nah, not really a lot of work, I have just extended it with words!

Besides, I am relaxing now with a glass of London Pride. We didn't have any Tribute.

I don't think that I could ever take it easy, I just get bored too easily.
You have reminded me that even when on holiday in Switzerland a few years ago, I ended up sneaking off to help a gardener who was raking up the grass in the grounds of where we were staying. My wife was not amused. I just couldn't sit on our balcony and watch someone else work.

Not much done today up @ 5 fishing till 1 then off to a BBQ till 7.
But did come back with a few cuttings of black stemmed hydrangea just potted them up and did
A bit of weeding!

 

I cleared out a lot of things that were tatty and over now. Found some old rose heads that I'd missed and managed to fill up a bag for the tip.
Found a load of brown/dead ( or so I thought) clematis stems. Managed to cut them off and pull them away. It looked tidier - until I looked up to the floor above about half an hour later. A great wadge of purple Jackmannii flowers all dangling down and heading for the cemetry. I had cut through their life line.

Today I dug out an Abutilon megapotamicum that was being outcompeted by a Geranium, and replanted it elsewhere. I also made my own little 'succulent bowl'. Also turfed out a Balloon flower plant, into the front garden out of sight, and out of mind.

 

Thank you sorry for causing you bother it is a nice bush xx
