Last Leg of my front garden!!!!

12 comments


We were up bright and early this morning to get stuck in (again) We hired a lawn stripper and a rotivator, we started digging near the raised bed area and soon realised we were out of our depth!!! I found a large root and started digging the soil round it to expose it, as i got to the end of it i said wayhay not too bad..

untill i tried to dig underneath it !!!

They were going right across the garden, so out came the chopping axe and the pik, but an hour later we were standing knee deep in soil because by now the roots were growing down not just across, So we called in the Big Boys :)

Half an hour later job done and time to use the rotivator..

Thats Better :)

Back out tomorrow with the rotivator, fingers crosse thats the hard work done..

While hub was buzy i had to pop out for a bit of shopping, Because i read on the B&Q site last night the pots i had my heart set on for the front door were reduced from £45 to £15 I had to check it out, There were 2 sets left with no bar code on so i asked the guy watering the plants (yeah, thats a first) if he could sort it out for me, off he went for his pricing gun and of course he couldn’t price them with no barcode, so he said, (wait for it)…… ..A fiver..OMG I was Buzzing haha, i was nudging my sis because she was saying, A Fiver, A Fiver..I wanted to giggle and jump around but I was Cool and said i want the two sets please, as he was climbing the shelves he said you b****y pest hahahaha, So if Ian from B&Q Byker, Newcastle, reads this… I LOVE YOU

MY POTS.. (giggle)
