Buckets full of rain
Posted on 16 Apr, 2008 6 comments
Well my beloved decided he would have to start the foundations for our new greenhouse and although he was only able to do a small amount of work (due to all the rain) he was really pleased with his work, it’s always handy to have a man about that’s good with his hands! Lol.
I in the meantime was busy planting a lovely red dogwood mini hedge (another bargain buy from Parkers) between one part of the garden and a very small veg plot.
I manged to sow some seeds in the veg plot and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well as it will be the first time in such a very long time I have grown some veg. The soil was improved and dug so many times that I lost count and the spade and fork easily gets lost with only the slightest nudge so I shouldn’t have too much of a problem there.
Weeds will not be a problem (at least for me) as it’s one of my most favourite things to do in the garden and it amazes me just how many people hate doing it….so as the saying goes have trowel will travel! ;o)
I will be having a go at growing a couple of salad hanging baskets this year and have an amazing amount of baskets to go at due to my bargain hunts from last year….just need hubby to do the drilling, once again those hubbies do have their uses! Hel.xxx.

Dee I'm already well overdue with the greenhouse seed trays are appearing all over the place might even have to invade the boy's bedrooms at this rate which is something for only the brave! Lol. Not sure the boys will help out I mean that's outside work and too far away from their computers for them to function right! ;o)
I'm sure Bob will behave while putting up the greenhouse and if not there's always the whip handy and I can always sing a tune if the air gets a little blue......but to be honest I'm not too sure which is worst my singing or Bob's naughty words!
Jacque we have been ripped off so many times with paying for 'work' to be done that we simply refused to pay anymore.....thankfully Bob's always willing to have a go at things after all it saves him so much money (just costs a couple of cuppas) and he does take a pride in his work.Hel.xxx.

Well done Hel getting him out there and getting it done. Bacon sarnies are the bribe of choice over here!!
Jacque having seen your other work I'm sure you could manage to get the greenhouse up by yourself - maybe get a few friends round and have a greenhouse erecting party? You are handy so go girl!!
