They won’t be happy in them for years to come so I hope to make some decisions about where they should go pretty soon.

And when I am finished with my task I water the garden, which takes an hour and then I am happy for what I have done. Every day I get a bit more done that way.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-35781542572324039222015-06-21T21:46:38.110+01:002015-06-21T21:46:38.110+01:00Thanks Endah, the fuchsias are flowering again, th...Thanks Endah, the fuchsias are flowering again, they are not as happy as they used to be but I hope to rescue them all eventually.

They need more water and more fertiliser, and are easier to dry out completely – and then there is the dreaded vine weevils….I hope they all will be happy in the end though, bar a few casualties.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-88551704177997674412015-06-21T21:38:56.337+01:002015-06-21T21:38:56.337+01:00I like what I am doing so it doesn’t feel like a c...I like what I am doing so it doesn’t feel like a chore – well apart from watering perhaps. But I must admit I have to take a day now and then to recover as even though I work very slowly and only for a short time every day it still gets too much for me.

I hope to have the garden cleared soon so I can start planning, it is not easy to imagine what I can do with it when there is so much still to clear away so that takes priority.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-16934857319404705842015-06-21T21:36:40.051+01:002015-06-21T21:36:40.051+01:00Hi Angie, watering the garden takes just over 1 ho...Hi Angie, watering the garden takes just over 1 hour, it is a task I don’t really take pleasure in I must admit. My cat is doing fine, still hasn’t tried to jump the fence so he is just staying in the garden. That’s fine by me, he is 15 years old in November, perhaps he is too old to climb these tall fences. He is rather possessive about the garden though, he scares away any cat that tries to enter while he is outside.

But I am trying to do a bit every day and not get too overwhelmed, I have a LOT still to do both inside and outside before I can start planting. I haven’t really got a good place for similar window boxes, unless I get something built for them, but I have thought about it as I have lots of plants suitable for them. I know my window boxes are missed, some of my previous neighbours have been in touch and said so :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-5992674127443837982015-06-21T21:29:52.369+01:002015-06-21T21:29:52.369+01:00I am sure I would have got all the rain I wanted R...I am sure I would have got all the rain I wanted Rick, but I could not have grown all my plants – dilemma :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-8063979809725042072015-06-21T21:25:20.216+01:002015-06-21T21:25:20.216+01:00Oh yes, I am having fun – I hope the grubs will be...Oh yes, I am having fun – I hope the grubs will be going soon, I will inspect the pots in two weeks’ time, hopefully the nematodes have done their job.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-75756634211966988692015-06-21T21:25:14.167+01:002015-06-21T21:25:14.167+01:00Thanks Nadezda, I am still clearing weeds and prun...Thanks Nadezda, I am still clearing weeds and pruning the garden, but creating a flowerbed I can see from my living room window is top priority, I want to be able to see my garden on days when I can’t be out there.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-36889456447577587412015-06-21T21:25:06.579+01:002015-06-21T21:25:06.579+01:00Smell is so individual!
