The sunshine and blue skies might be fooling us into thinking that Spring has arrived but it has certainly given us the opportunity to get outside and do some work in the garden. Paul has managed to replace the broken panes of glass in the greenhouse and it is now ready for use.

He has rotovated his potager again; he thought that perhaps the piece of yellow rope would deter Rick from running across the newly turned soil. It didn't.
Kat has been helping Paul to dismantle the strange bus shelter contraption at the side of the storage sheds. We can only think that it was originally used as a wood store but the area underneath was filled with rubbish - an old washing line, two galvanised bins, a ladder and decomposing plastic sacks of garden waste. It was a pit of doom. Once it is clear we shall level the area off and turf the area; it is north facing and too shady to grow anything there.

Maddening to have to do these things but so satisfying when they are done.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good to see this eyesore dismantled and removed.
DeleteHow could you? Getting rid of such an architectural masterpiece! It's outrageous.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really hard decision to make!
DeleteGood to get rid of it, the sort of place rats go.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, it was not nice.
DeleteThe grass looks nice and green and spring-like. We're due for another 5-7 inches of snow tonight, but next month we should be getting some grassy spots showing - I hope. So nice to have Kat there to help!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Kat was too enthusiastic about this job.
DeleteMost Clematises (sp?) do well on North facing walls.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we were thinking of planting there.
DeleteYou seem to find the right house and garden for Rick, he seems happy.
ReplyDeleteHe seems very content and relaxed here.
