    What - even in the  kitchen, Hosta? ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Neither have I Hosta, if I keep putting it to the bottom of the list I might never have to  ;)

    Do some deadheading and pull out obvious weeds then sit out and relax with a cup of coffee.

    Wander round garden with cup of coffee in hand looking at all the things that need doing, go and sit down with rest of said coffee and still think about all the things that need doing!

    I'm afraid I'm a gardening butterfly. I would probably start all of the jobs and finish none of them, dropping  tools in my wake as I flit to the next distraction.
    I would spend a fair amount of time searching for the  tools though.

    watering. No hose pipes here, so an hour would cover watering the tomatoes and baby plants in the polytunnel and the chillies and strawberries in pots outside. If there's time, pot on some of the babies.

    I really should move the washing line but an hour's not going to cut it for that one. I ought to strim down the foot high grass around the fruit bushes but I guess the sawfly will get fat for another year until I can sort it out properly. 

    I may go and hassle the voles for a while

    Plant out things that you're fed up watering in pots
    Most of my time in the garden is spent wondering what the hell I am going to do the wisteria and disliking how over-looked the whole space is. I waste far too much garden time worrying. Photographing bugs is a much better way of doing things.

    Pansyface, I've got it. I picked up a spring on the patio yesterday. I was wondering where it came from.

    Weed the front of the beds -ditto above
    I'm definitely in the sit in the sun bracket, but since that aint an option I'll do a spot of hoe leaning......erm, weeding. :)

    I would give Jamie Oliver a two fingered salute and enjoy a cold tin of full sugar coke and a bag of marmite crisps whilst watching the cats go daft over a pile of catnip.
