It’s a warm, October day…again! We should have had this weather in September but hey ho, I’m not complaining! I’ve spent the morning doing various garden jobs whilst Mr S busies himself in his workshop, making some planters for Nich. How exciting! 😁
My jobs were far from exciting! I re-arranged some plant pots, ready to fill with compost and spring bulbs. I repotted some Foxgloves. I pruned and repotted two Devonshire Dumpling Fuchsias and I did some snipping…as one does. ✂️
And then it was time for a break as I was feeling weary…a quick sit down and a look at some gardening pages, when the first thing that I clapped my eyes on was this wonderful picture! I laughed out loud! 🤣
I laughed because… this is me! That is, apart from the cats…(I have to confess that I am not a cat lover!) But the rest of the picture…it sums me up good ‘n proper ! LOL! And I love this one , too.
The artist, btw, is Stephanie Lambourne. She produces all sorts of lovely designs and not just on the theme of gardening. But those are the ones that appeal to me.
And then, after a quick visit to Mr S in his workshop, it was back to the garden. As I was wandering around the garden, I noticed that, ‘ Lots of kisses’ was coming into bloom again. Many red buds ( or I should say ‘kisses’) appeared before my eyes:
I’m also a great one for ‘ chopping back’. And a few weeks ago, I did just that with these Osteospermum, which are now flowering, again.
Similarly, I cut back these Erigeron karvinskianus and now these are going crazy, once more!
And then it was time for another break. I was hoping that Mr S might come along to join me…you can just picture the scene…
I certainly hope that your Thursday is just as happy, warm and bright!
