Last entry.....oh no, can it be true??
Those of you who have been following the famous Garden Page for some time may be shocked and horrified to hear that this is the very last entry. Unlikely, unwelcome, unbelieveable....but true!
BUT.....as is so often the case, we have bad news and we have good news. A new Blog is to rise from the ashes of this fine, rambling tale to be reborn as....(drum roll)....the all- new, organic, environmentally correct, macro-biotic, warm, cuddly: Gardening Page. Please click on the link to continue your blogging and gardening enjoyment (no, this is not some con to steal money/ password /kids /home from you, just an attept to tell you where the Blog has gone: believe me, I'm a gardener!)
Back to gardening then: the sister in law is dropping in for a few days on route (en route?) to Australia from France. So clearly I had to mow the lawn and get my hair cut. The grass is going crazy at the moment, with the mild weather and all the rain we've been having, which is just as well as at work we have just layed a 250 sq.m. lawn from turf for a client. We prepared the ground really well over many weeks, waited for ideal conditions and laid the turf in two days. After a couple of days of hose pipes and sprinklers the rain took over (and did a better job!) the watering duties for us.
I gather from the news that gardeners are at the front line of the battle against global warming. So what's new? We have been dealing with the issues as long as I can remember and planting warm / dry climate species for years. Real gardeners work with nature, not against it: it's not rocket science if I can do it!
Anyway, I have a few photos for you, taken in the gardens at home and by the office yesterday and today. Enjoy these and please do come over and chat in my new Blog page: Gardening Page
