Hello , cut the lawns today , intend to tidy up garden tommrow and leave cutting hawthorn hedges till next week
self seeded fox gloves looking great and a couple of lavender bushes just about to flower , in fact quit pleased considering not had much time to do things
I started pruning the raspberries, at long last, and decided to get the shredder/mulcher going to get rid of the raspberry branches. That done, wandered down to the bed that we THOUGHT we had cleaned out of Jerusalem artichokes, and dug up a whole bucket full of the tenacious things. (We like the taste of them but could do without the anti-social after effects). The dam is still iced over even though it's now 2 pm. I think it was minus 5.5 C last night. Light cloud, so not too bad when working, but I'm glad to come in for a while. I've still got more raspberries to cut back, but they'll have to wait.
I hope you are all enjoying you summer over there.
Hi GWRS I live in NSW in the region generally known as "the snowy mountains". So we get temps down to about minus 11c and up to about 40c. While I am 6 months out of sinc with the UK, I still love reading the GW magazine but try to do mental gymnastics to fit the season. I've been posting comments to Marion's Bristol site for a while now, so you could look at that and see some of the things I've been doing as well as see some of the photos I've put up.
