Not much to show for a days work
If you've already looked at my list today you'll see I've still only crossed another 2 things off! I've mowed the lawns and cleared the cut trees on my back lawn. Of course I've also made 2 trips to the dump (recycling centre!), We've been using the trolley and tubtrugs all day long too, and [...]

Half a job
Well I did half of a few jobs on the list. I cleared and shredded more in the area of the herb garden and I tidied the herb garden a little more. And then we put that trolley to more good use by using it to clear away the stuff we had cleared and to [...]

When will I learn not to start…
I was just going to clear that rose yesterday and I started on the shrub which had reached tree proportions next to it. Today I decided to have the rest of the shrub down. Just look at the piles of shrub on my lawn, flowerbed, behind the Arbour etc. I've cut off the bigger pieces [...]

A vine covered arbour
arbour ARBOUR I cleared a rose which was not very pretty and terribly overgrown off an arbour at the back of the garden. After clearing the rose and the bush beside it I realised the vine was much bigger than I thought and is covering the arbour nicely. I had to do an emergency run [...]

Busy Morning
It's going to be another scorcher! Up good and early and in the garden by 8.30. In an hour I had dug in the posts for the chicken run, cleared the ground and got on with filling the pool – it's still not level but I hope that won't cause too many problems. I left [...]
