It’s good growing veg but some colour is needed in spring. In the back garden i grow fruit and all i can see is green for most of the year.
Patching up the lawn that the badgers have been tearing up looking for earthworms.
Yesterday I prepared an area ready for some daffodil bulbs and tidied up the Montbretia.
Helping hubby clear up the trimmings of the pyracantha hedge, finished that so i can get on with what i want to do.
I looked it up and it could be called Verron’s Obsidian.
Potted up some cuttings of fuchsias, verbena bonerences and Snapdragons.

Tied in the new blackberry canes for next year and pulled up a lot of ivy.

Many garden centres are selling roses at half price. My three new ones are waiting in deep water. I shall be planting them later after they have a long drink.

Stripped back around four square metres of sunken turf, infilled with five sacks of topsoil and then relaid the turf. Just got cleaned up and tools away when we had a real heavy shower, perfect, what timing…

Went to see my friend Marion and planted some foxgloves and a verbena bonerences plants for her. Pruned her roses and made a hedgehog house out of some house bricks and then covered it with any vegetation that we could find.
