morning ladies   Another hot, sticky, day ahead of us today.  Yesterday was too hot even to stitch, my hands kept getting sweaty so I gave up for the day.
oh_hunihuni, I like your idea of rescuing the plants from the compost bin.  Seems silly to throw them out so early.  My sister lives in a retirement village and there is a long list of names for the use of the community gardens.  They only get to use them for a year then have to let someone else have a turn.
I finished the concrete edging yesterday morning and planted the dahlias.  While pottering about, I weeded a bit as well.
Now for the concrete to be taken away so I can work on the fill underneath it all.  MrK suggested I redo an edging around another part of the garden to 'smooth it all out'.  Funny how he suggests  I do it and not him. 
Today is housework and if it's not too hot, will work on my tui again.  I think I'll have to unpick a kowhai flower as it just doesn't look right.  The shape is all out of kilter.   Oh well, it is what it is.
Happy crafting
