Groundwork Done!

Another busy morning in the garden.  At last we have got everything planted that needs to be planted.  Now it is up to Mother Nature and the weather.  At least today it is pleasantly warm and we do not have the terrible humidity of yesterday.

We are pretty pleased with our efforts:-

The tall column you can see is our giant birdfeeder which is usually covered in finches.  At the bottom is the rabbit run.

It is all looking very colourful indeed.  It gets harder every year but we always say it is well worth the effort.

Now we are going to retire outside with a nice cup of tea and just sit back and enjoy:-

To be honest, I think we have earned it!!!! Boy, do I ache.

Whilst I am out enjoying the sun I shall be thinking up something for my next entry.

Your garden is exceptionally lovely Jeannette. Enjoy your rest and cuppa. I'm off to try and get hubby to mow the lawn (or should I say field!). Wish I could still do it myself. Love gardening. Take care my friend.

Jeannette, your garden is stunning!!  
Can imagine you and Mike sitting out, enjoying the sun :o)
It must take alot of work to keep your garden looking like that, but it must also be worth every minute.

Hello again. By the way my name is Monae. Your garden is simply beautiful and grand. The work put into the garden shows in your garden just by the picture. I bet its even nicer in person I'm sure. Today I did some yard work today for the upcoming weekend and let me tell you it was a job to do. I am a little bad when it comes to the names of yard tools let me tell you. I can't remember the names of tools or if I'm using the right tools to do certain things in the yard. Your garden is amazing though I'm sure you have no problems when it comes to the names of tools at all and it shows. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself. I hope that you keep writing as well. I am a fan of your journal if you don't mind me saying. Thanks again.

My mom loves birdfeeders as well.  Her mother always had many finches she kept.  Beautiful.
