Well goodmorning friends, today I must say looks rather promising for a spot of gardening. We have had so much rain overnight the ground is going to be east to work and the borders can be seen eaier at the moment. I have about 50 lovely bulbs to plant that will flower around april time, so I'm thinking of putting those in before the ground gets cold and frosty.
I have nearly completed my rockery I just need to add something to repressent Fire so I have all the elements on it. We are gradually preparing the garden for its winter but need to make sure the raised beds and veg patches are in before the winter comes to save work at the start of the season and make sure they are fed well. I think that giving the shed and bottom fence area will have to be done as what we found under the aged and dying honeysuckle was a rather ugly dark brown stained colour, which quite frankly is disgusting now. So to give it a touch of life and make sure the wood itself is sealed a good going over should do it.
It certainly has been a job and a half so far with the re siting of a huge Clemetis over an arch which is now over a step onto the path from the deck, the building of a rockery in one corner from the ground up and re siting the paving stone path to make things more accessable from the shed. Mind you going into the shed is a tad frightening and I run the gauntlet with spiders everytime I go in YUK!!!!! Things aren't so bad though this is stuff I kinda know what to do so its simple thanks to the teachings of my mum, dad and grandad Albert. Ahhhh my gradad I miss him so much, a gruff man who seemed hard to everyone but was an absolutely lovely man with me. He never ever grumbled when I drove him insane with gardening questions, wanted raw carrots to eat and basically hung on his shirt tails all the time. He could take a waste land and turn it into an oasis, he was talented in more ways than one though he was an award winning marketry piece maker. I still have my jewellery box he made me as a young adult. We lost him when I was 16 but I know he is proud I have turned my life round and am finally making headway and healing. His favourite song was Amazing Grace as it symbolised the change in him when he found comfort in the Spiritualist movement, I feel such an infinity with this song as it too repressents the changes I have had to make to heal mentally and physically from a long life of illness and abuse. "I once was lost but now am found" is the line which seems to say it all.
Enough about the garden for today or I will never get around to doing anything at all.
Love Light and Blessings xxxxxxx
