First tidy
Posted: Sunday 20 January, 2008
Dan offered himself to me for half an hour today! So I sent him to cut back the buddleia and prune the roses. Hey ho, we've been together a long time, now!
It's been rather nice here this weekend. Due to other commitments, I didn't get in the garden yesterday, but I was out for a couple of hours this afternoon. Mostly, I was pottering, cutting back some of the dead vegetation and sweeping up, but it all looked much better afterwards.
Dan came round with the secuteurs to do the buddleia but had to go back for the loppers. I didn't cut it back last year, so it was pretty tough. I'm hoping to move some plants around in the spring - I'm not the best picker of plants and I hate throwing anything out, so I end up with odd combinations. Some of the plants in the courtyard need more sun or are too big for where they are, so they will need moved too.
It was just so nice to be out without a jacket on, and get a bit of sun. The fields are much drier, although the BBC is forecasting heavy snow for tomorrow. It won't lie though, so we'll be back to mud. But it was good to see the bulbs coming up - Spring is just around the corner!
