Always something to tend and plan for.

How their grandchildren must love it there!

Britain's best garden

I've been catching up on long-neglected garden chores....got my veggie plants earlier in the week and they're just roosting here till I've prepped the veggie garden and the temps warm up a bit.

We have a freeze warning tonight....brrrrr....

Gardening is good for the soul.

Very nice garden.
Bob's backyard is surrounded by a tall wall and oleanders. It is very nice and private.
It is now too hot much of the day.

The British couple's garden is amazing! How beautiful!

Since the quarantine started, I have spent more time in my yard than probably any time since I was a little kid!

We are super lucky in that there's a buffer zone between our house and our neighbor's, an L-shaped lot that is owned by someone but is too small to big on. So it's just wooded and it means our backyard is very private.

When we first moved here (or rather when we were still house hunting), I thought the backyard was lovely but the privacy of it didn't really register.

Well, it sure does now! I love being able to go back there and walk around. I do "laps" and can really have a nice walk! Smiler

Wonder how much of that garden is edible, in case the SHTF and food supply becomes a problem.

I thought of that too, Ax, but I think their focus is entirely aesthetic. Don't imagine that with his professional savings in their modest (1/4 acre) yard, they are thinking much about ultimate uses of all gardening. (They have after all been building this Eden for almost 40 years.)

(I'd sure like to see their "fairy houses"!)

I am not showering every day and commuting, so, in theory I have an extra hour each day. And I'm taking every Friday off because reasons.

I have been spending an hour or so every day working in the yard. Today I spend a few hours removing ivy and blackberries from the bank between the patio and the upper back yard.

I always get seven eighths of the way though something like that and think, "oh, darn... I should have taken a before picture."
