    It's a beautiful garden John. It must take a lot of time and knowledge to keep it looking good. A wonderful place to relax. Who needs to be out and about with that outside your back door.

      Thanks Jim, 51 years this year of alterations adding and removing some things has given us just what we want.

              I am to gardening what a wrecking ball is to sky scrapers!!!!

              Todays gardening chore though has been right up my alley!!!!! Tree root removal. A very old tree root that was inherited when we moved in, has succumbed to my efforts. (Well. Mine, a fireman’s axe and a wrecking bar).
              I can report the root is now an ex root, it is no more!! It ain’t even capable of pushing up daisy’s as it’s in several garden buckets!!!
              Mem Saab can now plant to her hearts content! My bit is done.

                Whilst we're on the subject of Gardening, my task's for the day are complete, all the fence panels ..(all 11 of them)..are done..

                Just the shed to re-paint, re-stain the little 'picket type' fence on my front garden, and then replace all the garden log-roll type edging.. it never bloody stops does it !

                  Cracking John, you sure have the green fingers!! You and Christine must love sitting there with a nice cuppa.

                  Would show my garden but it's been used to shoot a film on the Somme!

                    The garden is looking great John.
                    I used to do bonsai. I had some nice ones started from young plants. Ten years in and they went tits up.
