It's compost Jim, but not as we know it...

...actually that's a lie, it's just that there's so much of it. Some of it has been laying there untouched at Pat's for about 15 years. It will take a lot of sorting but once it's sieved (I like a bit of sieving) it's tremendous stuff!


And here it is:

It'll probably take me most of the summer to sort it all out, but that is the beauty of this part of gardening, no deadlines to beat, no marketeers telling me what it's all about and no jumped up little squirt thinking he/she can tell me what, where & when to do it.


Keep on diggin'... Innit?

Rabbits are good

Trying to remember...

...why I started this blog. There doesn't appear to be enough time in the day when I'm compost-mentis enough to do it!


Keep on digging... Innit?

Garden heaven...

Our compost, some of which is at least 6 years old - it's lovely I think you'll agree

Hellebores at Pat's place - my favourite flower, they give you colour all year round just about

The Volvo - I call it the Belgrano, 'cos it' big and grey and never been anywhere near the Falkland Islands. Must tidy it up soon...

A new diddy lawn at Tom & Vicky's - she wanted somewhere to lay in the sun!

The rockery at Julie's - not a fan of tulips, but they looked so nice at the top there!

Can't beat a good daff at it's zenith

And there you have it. A lovely week in amongst the flowers. Pruning, trimming, mowing and hoeing - just a shame I couldn't go out with the TUC on Saturday, what fun and japes was there!


No cuts here - not of that kind anyway...


Happy chopping!

Ah Spring is bustin' out all over - here is the evidence...

Don't ya' just love it?


Happy flowering...

The truth about the Moon

The Americans never got to the Moon first, it was Keith Moon, drummer of The Who. This is why it's called The Moon.


Keith went there to pick up his drum set - nobody has quite worked out how it got there yet. Any theories?


Happy Lunarology...
