All hands on deck
Mum and dad came round today and we spent a productive day in the garden. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Gardening shoes were on and gloves were at the ready.
Mum weeded the fruit border and some of the patio whilst me and dad sorted out the vegetable plot. All the manky cabbages have now gone and the area has been dug over and he even managed to remove the tree stump giving me more growing space. I removed the French dwarf beans and weeded the top end of the vegetable plot. All the outdoor tomatoes have been picked and the plants are now in the compost bin. The garden looks a lot tidier and is ready for it's winter dressing.
As a thank you, we had home made soup for lunch and they went home with some courgettes and some runner beans for their help. Mum went home looking rather tired and in much need for a soak in the bath!
The greenhouse needs sorting next so I will hopefully make a start on that tomorrow.
Well that is it for another day, until next time x

It sounds like you've been busy, it's great when you get some help. What is it they say? Many hands make light work.
ReplyDeleteIt has sure made my life a bit easier. I was a bit overwhelmed and just did not know where to start. Now it all looks so much better and I am on track again and able to keep on top of it once more.
