This weekend is shaping up to be beautiful and I’ve tidied up a real mess I spotted beside the greenhouse which had wild privet, ivy and brambles needing exorcised! And approaching midday the sun is HOT! I’ve run inside.

I’ve filled the brown bin with my trimmings but also some rose clippings that had been abandoned by another gardener who has also pruned the plum and applied fungicide to it. It has now treated us to a flush of blossom. The crab apple is promising more too.

I will plant later on when the sun goes round the house and it isn’t quite so bright. I better see if there is dinner to be eaten!
