I have gardened, and gardened mightily.
I decided to get a proper gardener in to sort out the mess that our garden is. That and the lovely weather this weekend had me out doing some of it. Last week the gardener left some plants for the newly-dug bed in the front garden, so they are now all planted and looking nice.
Then I turned mine eye to the enormous and out of control forsythia and buddleia along the boundary with the neighbour on the other side. I gave both of them a pretty good prune last year, but didn't go as far as I wanted to. Today I had a chat with said neighbour who a) hates the buddleia and b) has a hacksaw. Between us we took 4-6 feet off the top, and I have taken out a lot of the width as well. It's all looking a bit naked at the moment, but it'll grow back and hopefully be easier to manage.
I am quite excited at the prospect of having a garden that is both nice to be in and manageable. The gardener is not just clearing out the crap, but rebuilding all the borders and such like. I think it is going to look really good.
Also had a chat with Workmate L on Friday and sorted a few things out, so hopefully some of the work situation will start to sort itself out.
I wonder why googleads is trying to sell me... I think either internet service or a survey in German. Oh googleads, why so weird?
