Can´t settle, don´t feel creative, so next best thing, tackle the garden
We all know how gardens can run away with you, but ours seems to have galloped off running amok
First to tackle was the rose garden by the pool. I learnt very quickly that pruning takes place so much earlier than in the UK. I forgot to take a before picture, but I´m sure you can see by the piles of weeds and clippings how overgrown it had become. In fact we have one rose already in flower.
Finally finished except I can´t find the photo lol
Then moved on to tackle a very invasive plant, its all top growth with loads of dead wood beneath
There is actually a 2/3 foot bed underneath that lot
We have some large builders sacks which are very useful, three filled so far plus a couple of wheelbarrow loads
Moved the bench with its back to the pool and now I can sit and view the Med
Much warmer today, so after a nice cuppa in the Naya, it´s back to work.
Luckily we obtained our fire licence from the Suma office, so hopefully with a controlled bonfire most of the debris will disappear.
Take care

It looks like you've been very busy. It's been quite mild here so there's still some summer flowers hanging on yet spring bulbs are now pushing their way through the ground.
ReplyDeleteWarm and sunny here lovely to be out in it, it was all grey sky and drab when I was in the UK. I walked Rebecca around her new garden explaining the care of several plants and saw spring bulbs pushing their way up xcx
DeleteHi Chrissie ,your garden will look fantastic when you are finished and wow what wonderful views you have,hope you have a lovely day my friend xx
ReplyDeleteI want it to be low maintenance so plan to spray cover with shingle with the odd pot or two. I like the new position of the bench looking out to the med xcx
Deletethat's a lot of clearing for you... sometimes physical work is what is needed (for you and the garden)…. what a lovely view... I think I wouldn't get anything done because I would be sitting on that bench...
ReplyDeleteThinking of you heaps...

Now I have cleared the top, Chris was able to use the chain saw from below, a drop of about 4/5 ft. Trying to get rid of the roots is a pain as they are growing through a stone wall. It is tempting to just sit! xcx
DeleteThere is always so much to do in a garden and you have been busy with good results.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have your bench positioned so you can look out over the Med.
My good wishes
All the best Jan
We have made quite good strides with our project. Don´t know why I didn´t move the bench ages before xcx
