You can never have enough...

You might need to start a dripping pot in the fridge, the way our Mums did back in the day. For the birds though, not for spreading on doorstop slices of home made bread!!

The big outdoor chair up against the door worked a treat and I slept like a log - 8pm to 8am in truth - after all the rose pruning yesterday. Hips aren't happy though, all that standing on concrete has rarked them up a bit so a quiet day is called for till they settle down. Looks like another quiet but dry day here so maybe some gentle exercise, having cleared that front rose garden I have some ideas around the replanting but need to boost the soil beyond the handfuls of slow release I tossed on yesterday. Some compost and some sheep'n chook should do the job, and then I can let that rest till September and maybe make that a wildflower bed. Clearing it though did let the air in and I discovered many of the bulbs I put in twelve years ago are still there, showing green, so with luck they will enjoy having some room. Wildflowers would be sensible for the future, as I age, much more easy care than bedding plants for each season. I can always have those in pots...
