Nora's front garden

Nora's front garden

Somebody possibly noticed that there was no e-mail from me for just over a week. No there was nothing wrong with me only I drove to Castlebar on Wednesday 4 th. I spent nearly a week with my sister Nora and did a bit of gardening there too. Nora has a lovely garden and keeps it very well. I brought her some of my tomatoes, four Alicante and two beafsteak. a neighbour looked after my greenhouse while I was away. I noticed quite a change when I got back. Almost all of the forget me not which looked very good in the rockery was removed to make way for other plants. There is still plenty of it in other parts of the garden. To day I didnt get much time for the garden as I was at a funeral of a former colleague of mine. However I potted up the Dahlias which had come on a lot. They had been in a cardboard box in the greenhouse.

Welcome back, Dick.

Now that's the second time you've been down, Dick.   I wish I had known - again - would have asked you over or I would have driven over to Castlebar to see you.   Glad you had a nice time all the same.

Sorry Sally. why don't you drop along to Nora's house. She is also very interested in gardening.  We exchange plants when I call. I give her tomato plants and some annual bedding plants while she has given me perennials. You may remember Josefa who died last summer. Nora is her mother.

I would normally enjoy the gardening in Castlebar but it was a case of out for a short period and back again due to rain.
