 I gave a demonstration tonight on rose pruning to the Ladies of Roscommon ICA in Hannons hotel here  in Roscommon…I also did some cuttings of Fuchsia and Hypericum….it is really my first time and I was nervous, but when I got  started and answered a few questions I enjoyed it……beautiful sunny days here at the moment  great time to finish up the tidying for the winter

I’m trying to find a work-around to the problem issue with uploading Albums.

This is a folder on my Google Drive that I would love feedback on whether it can be viewed from here or not?

Thanks a million

Its a strange new wet world out there and lots of the leaves have been raked up. Scrubber put in over a hundred tulips recently so he is expecting a bit more colour next spring. He labelled where he put them which was as well because Tom Jones just loves newly raked earth in which to—well no need for detail-and when done she scrapes the earth back and often sends my labels spinning!

I did get that rock I mentioned into position. Quite easily in fact for it’s size and named it after my cousin Billy who was very unwell. Billy died on saturday so his rock will always be a reminder of my childhood friend and playmate.It’s part of a wall that I straightened a bit earlier on this year. The original is an old field wall butte back is higher than the front so there is a lovely broad edge which has loads of snowdrops in it and when I thin out the forget me nots I shall line it with them as well. It borders a new path and as I say once you do one thing it suggests another and things have a habit of coming together at this time of the year when they are more exposed.

A little box hedge put in about two or three years ago is now getting a bit more obvious. they were tiny when I started as i subdivided the plants into three!

I see I have that nasty coral spot on my walnut trees but I just cut away the infected branches and loads more come so here’s hoping.

Still some raking to be done and lots of small branches to be cleared but as Tom Dooley said when I snagged my trousers climbing a gate into Sr Josephines convent orchard ‘There’s definitely an end in view’ and then give him some nice cold frosty dry days and scrubber will be well pleased!

This is my work-around for albums since the site is not able to upload them at present.

If the link doesn’t work please let me know!

Enjoy!

Thats what I tell myself as I lug tarpaulins full of leaves down to the bottoms-yes even now I am still at it! The weather is cold but dry around here and its lovely to see all the snowdrops shoots coming up everywhere. A good time too to collect all the fallen branches and break them into kindling. There’s a marvellous big snowdrop out at present with broad leaves a present from Paddy which I treasure even if I have mislaid the name. I dont go in much for rare varieties but its lovely to have two or three specials among all the others. Its great too when paths re emerge from their leaf covering and the bones of the garden are revealed. I only stay out an hour to an hour and a half but it’s so pleasant. And Mary, this time I have cut away allthe old hellebore leaves. I havent dared to do it in earlier years so here’s hoping.
