Great weather today plus a bonus a day of work

Well done Donna.
That's all looking neat and tidy :o)

thank you tt roll on the summer BRING IT ON

My puppy wouldn't let me do gardening today, but we enjoyed the sunshine. :o)

Donnah it looks grand wish I had the nerve to try that,are they all conifers?.

All so neat and tidy now, Donna - what are you going to do tomorrow?? lol.

Back at work S Henry So more gardening for a few days

i tried to tidy things today too Donnah by finishing off the clearing up of yesterdays prunings, budleia, spirea, hebe, climbing rose, ceaonothus and escallonia. I also sorted through plants in pots from last season's growing experience and repotted where appropriate. got my 11 yr old to cut the edges of 2 borders. i'll be back at work monday too and hubby will want to go out tomorrow so that is it for the week. apart from checking the greenhouse am and pm.

I've got more pruning to do - the Caryopteris, Perovskia and Spiraea all need to be done. I'd like a 'slave' too, Seaburngirl - do you hire him/her out? LOL.

I spent my time tidying the borders, finding lots and lots of my least favourite weed - Hairy Bittercress. If you miss just one, the seeds shoot everywhere. I obviously missed a lot last year!

sorry you are too far away to lend you her. remember the old adage, one years seed 7 years weeds! You can eat hairy bittercress washed and derooted in salads, its peppery and quite pleasant. most of mine goes to the pet rabbits, there is a limit to how much i can eat. i dont mind pulling it as it is so much easier than creeping sowthistle :o( .

Srithenry and seaburngirl The pair of you would tie me in knots you no so much about the gardening world. I think I might do arunner LOL

Don't be daft! Just look at your garden, Donna!

Thank you Sprithenry Its all the laten names of plants which throws me

the latin names still trip me up and when people say them they sound nothing like i think they should sound. i wish gardening programmes would put the name on the screen as the presenter is saying it. i'm a definte amateur/enthusiast
your garden looks fab donnah. i know most of my local wild flowers by their local common name. that has caused problems & misunderstanding. i'll tell more in a blog soon!

You have obviously worked very hard Donnah and your garden looks a treat !

Well done Donnah....its looking great.
