My neighbours have a laurel hedge too with their old rotted fence behind it. So I get all the joy of looking at the collapsing fence.
Just checked my stepcounter watch and I've managed 8500 steps so far today just gardening. Lots of going up and down the slope, then up and down...
Some of mine isn't even steps, I have to scramble around like a mountain goat and the paths are really narrow. Today I was idly wondering about...
I've just spent a while trying to dig out an old larch stump next to where the leafmould pile used to be. I had a good go at it last year and had...
Yes I noticed the song of the pressure washer most of the time I was out in the garden today. What are people washing so much? How did they wash...
Having finished reconstructing the log pile, this morning I dismantled the leaf mould bin. I dug off the top unrotted layer to start a new pile in...
I buy a lot from Amazon, but I tend to go for things that are next day delivery since I like to know I'll be home when they're delivered. Bit...
I wouldn't expect them to have anything much in the way of leaves at this time of year. Maybe some are still hanging on to last year's dead...

I still haven't cut back the Verbena Bonariensis and today there were goldfinches eating the seeds. I think I'll have to cut off the seedheads and...
A trailing rosemary could work too, it would look nice draping over the white.It's an evergreen and this huge one that I walk past regularly...
If it were mine, I would have lots of Spring bulbs, then taller annuals such as cosmos or sunflowers which would give good foliage and colour and...
Very loud bumble bee in the garden yesterday. I believe at this time of year they are all queens, looking to set up the new nest.
Had a thought after I got inside - all those areas where I spread new earth are going to look like the perfect loo to the neighbourhood cats! So I...
I have definitely overdone it today. I've been working on my logpile reconfiguration project. When I removed all the old wood I found really nice...
