Funday

I have renamed Sunday to Funday... in the busy weeks of work, and currently working Saturdays on the big T, sometimes a gentle reminder to have some fun on a Sunday is needed....

So... today, well today was more of agarden workday but it was a fun work day... "fworkday" if you like.

Joe got me outside (step one...) and then we were really productive. We:
1) Mended one of the logstores so that it now drains the rain away more effectively
2) Put up new hanging baskets
3) Cleaned the egg off the wall which a child threw at our house not this Halloween but last...
4) Cleaned the roof of another logstore
5) Took all of the soil out of the herb trough (to our amazement, all of the horse manure had totally rotten down to soil!

 

The horse manure pile is pretty handy over the road..

So we replaced the trough with more horse manure (nice and warm for the plants) and then replaced the other soil and re planted the herbs.
6) Embarked on operation hedge (removed all the brambles from the hedge at the front of the house... easier said than done! See first trough pic and the last for an idea of how much of our hedge was bramble!
7) Weeded the front raised bed , to discover loads of curious bulbs lurking.

Right now that is all done we are going to do a 12 mile round trip cycle to our friend's house and then visit the lovely E & A on the way home for dinner.
