Month: August 2012

When I was all angsty about my open day I got some words of wisdom from (I think) Periwinkle – Hedges and Edges! Once these were looked after the garden would look good. Since then, every time I trim either hedges or edges i am reminded of this wisdom!

I’m still in discussions over the damage to the front garden, so I’m concentrating all my efforts on the back areas and I am really enjoying getting things ship-shape. Yesterday was the turn of the Herbaceous Border, today I cut the grass around Colin’s Tree and then spent the remainder of the afternoon making the edge as near to perfect as I could! I’m really happy with the result.

I have a few ideas about this area …. still trying to reduce the amount of grass …. but not sure what I’ll do here yet. Unfortunately my purse doesn’t always match my ideas so it may take a while …. but in the meantime it is all neat and tidy and I even wed the shrubbery. (think I must have spent too long in Carlow – I’m starting to talk like Scrubber :-D)
