Maybe we need an “Open Gardens” tour of all our places, but only open to members of the forum (tongue firmly in cheek)
All welcome here.. especially if you weed as compulsively as HFB!! She came to take some rose bushes, and managed to do some pruning and weed half the front garden at the same time :D
LOL! I was being restrained. :)
One day at my friend’s place she said to me “Put the secateurs down and repeat after me ‘hello, my name is Hortie and I am an addict’” (this friend is a decided black thumb, which is why I go feral with gardening tools at her place)
You can actually see the fanatical gleam appear if you look for it, and if I don’t succumb at least a little bit I’m sure I’d start to drool, ROFL!!
Last time I was at this friend’s place, she borrowed my pruning saw to cut a branch and I saw her have a moment of revelation. Her eyes even gleamed too. She said “No wonder you’re addicted, your saw cuts through a branch like butter. If mine did that I might be addicted too,” and having said that, she proceeded to look for a number of other branches that needed cutting, LOL!
BTW Bon, Mary Rose has flower buds!
Winchester Cathedral is covered in healthy new growth, about where Mary Rose was two weeks ago. Waiting for buds to appear there too. :)
You know, I think I’d be a lot more keen to get tools out and do things, if I could easily walk into the laundry and get the tool I need. Not shift the clothes rack out of the way, climb over the blood & bone, and then try to disentangle tool x from the mangled pile of tools a, c, b, d through z. (The corner tool storage thing fell off the wall a while ago – haven’t cleaned it up yet as I don’t know what system to replace it with.. and you know, still trying to fix the car, get the other car serviced, henna my hair, go to the dentist, and so forth and so forth)
Good news on the roses :)
