              Thank you :smile:
              Energy is something I'm very much lacking these days. I get a spurt of it now and then but could do with more :biggrin:

                The border along where my new trellises are was badly in need of tidying, everything was overgrown and in a tangle, so I took advantage of the recent warm weather and got down to it.

                I want the path wider so you can see some 'loose' slabs where there used to be plants, and the long bean stick is where the new path edge will be.
                The slabs also need washing so I must get my pressure washer out.

                You can see in the above photo, the lower end of the border where the cold frame is still needs tidying, and next year I'm going to have decking there so I'm leaving that for now.

                Here's my St Christopher -

                127_4025.JPG

                He's made from some resin, and I bought him in a local garden centre for £25.00 many years ago when I lived in a different place. I paid for him at £5.00 per month.
                He is very heavy !

                I've done more work than this but it's too much for one time, so I'll put the rest on soon :smile:

                            Wow, everything is so neat and organised Michael, and all the plants are fresh looking with St Christopher looking after them.
