Make over

Today the sun was out and I decided I was going to tackle a corner of the garden that has been 

Neglected for a long time 

It was so overgrown with weeds

That I didnt even go near it because it annoyed me so much 

Everything was just overgrown and unloved 

I forgot to take a before shot. But the tree had grown so much I could barely use my clothes line

So my wonderful son walked over with the chain saw and gave it a good haircut 

It opened up the area and I felt like I could breath again 

I started by removing the smaller pots and just emptied them of their contents 

They were so full of grass that it would of been a lengthy job of trying to get them all out 

They are now washed and ready for some fresh potting mix.  I’ll deal with those another day 

The square tin garden beds were cleaned out most of the soil remained and we topped them up 

With more and mulched them 

All plants were so big and woody we just chucked them.  Only bulbs were saved and some were re planted 

Into pots near the house 

The two big white pots had dead annuals that had flowered earlier 

So I pulled them out and extra bulbs were planted in here after fresh potting mix was added 

Looking much better. 

Hubby is still out there doing the last of the weeding that I just couldn’t pull out 

He’s going to whipper snip them short and unfortunately I’m going to have to spray them 

I’m the background you can see the blue tub in the metal stand. There were two in this area. 

I already emptied one with the help of my son and we moved it to the vegetable garden area

This one is being emptied as I type and I’ll decide where I want it then fill it with potting mix and plant flowers 

The sheep loved all the cuttings from the trees and all the weeds I had pulled out 

The blue planter 

It needs potting mix and some veggies I’ll organise that over the weekend 

And of course. Our site managers 

Keeping an eye on all the going’s on 

It’s been a huge day 

Which hasn’t ended yet 

I’m exhausted 

Hubby came home an hour ago to help with the heavy lifting 

And now I’ve left him to finish off 

I’ve watered all the pots and the veggies

And now I’m enjoying a well earned rest 

I wonder is it gin o’clock time yet?

Stay safe

See ya
