Not a bad deal at all. Can just imagine the state of Skysmums' poor garden after we all have a little go at it, lol. She'll never invite us again!!

It is lovely, isn't it? I can't get my head around gardening in a cool climate. Here everything grows sooooo fast, keeping up with the weeds is almost a full-time job! Skysmum, you are missing my point. Your beautiful garden might not be quite, or ever, the same if you allow rank amateurs (like me!) to run amok .......... that's the trouble with the unpaid workers ...... you can't trust them to stay on task and do as told!

Everything ive got goes mad as soon as you chop it anyway, im not fussy, but i will keep you away from the chain saw , wouldn't trust you with that . Im giving that job to BB we can get him up in the trees, it will save me the £300 that i have to pay every other year to get the apple tree pruned and the Eucalyptus has trebled in size since that pic was taken. We are supposed to be having snow again this week, wish it would make its mind up .

Okay, as long as you are sure........ I spend about half an hour this morning behind my OH while he was mowed the lawn, and I trimmed up the edges ....... just too hot! I gave up, will go out either earlier or later. I think I would like to garden in a cold climate. PS I'm good mates with a chainsaw.

Well it doesn't happen very often here but on the odd occasion when it has reached 30 degrees C and just pulling a weed up leaves you exhausted i know its not nice. I know your temps are higher than that and i cant imagine even going outside in it. The hottest ive experienced abroad was 42 degrees C and that just me feel sick and awful and every movement just left you sweating so i can sympathise, not good. Don't ask me why but chainsaws just freak me out, i cant be in the garden if there is one in use. Maybe because a lovely , not, young man took me to the movies when i was a teenager to see 'The Chainsaw Massacre's', nice .

That really is a lovely looking garden skysmum. My OH loves getting out into ours when she can. She ignores all the gardening rules lifts and transplants when she wants to move things into better positions and gets away with it. Even daffs in full bloom hop about once in a while. I am allowed to cut the grass, water and dig holes when and where required. I once was daft enough to plonk two pelagoniums in the ground where I thought they looked good. I went to water them the next day and found they had been lifted and moved. That was years ago... I gave up pretty easily. I stick to my allotment where my OH is only allowed to help harvest under carefuly instruction. If the weather forecast is anything to go by we may be getting another "white-out" photo opportunity in the near future. Roll on the warmer days.
