I’m not allowed! The dog goes to training and I go to the car boot sale adjacent. But today I was tempted by plants…

I have to say not buying plants is hard for me but with the closure of Wilkos locally I have to be a bit more strategic and buy things I have planned for and have put time aside to plant.

The garden is cleared of all the rotten shed parts and the trampoline bits are dismantled and the covers taken away. I have the idea of using the round pieces to form half moons with plants growing over them but I think it involves planning.

We found the ceramic tiles in the shed and I want to use them as little areas next to seats but I need to draw a little plan and get approval for my schemes.

It’s the time to start planting but I’ve accepted that this year might not see the schemes come to light. The dog doesn’t stay off the flower beds we have, so I will have to be realistic about not planting anything delicate. Robust and not pink are the two things I can try to keep to!

T also scratches up grass so a lot of the ‘grass’ areas are no more. This decreases my couch grass issue and realistically it is maybe good to focus on the menaces an the restrictions this year.
