Forgotten to photograph anything for ages, but was stunned by the difference deadheading made to this lovely spirea. So, stopped to take a contrast pic! Trimming will also cause it to produce new growth and new flowers, as seen by new flowers from a previous trim. End result.... Beautiful! 😍

Digging up a Chestnut tree, but only chest height when in ground! No chain saw needed! A nice space for new plants now! 😁
Wasn't the rain lovely! ☔
Thank you for photo Joan!

Please stare at this photo..... it might help you cool down! I'm beginning to fantasize about the sound and smell and feel of rain. I got too hot again today and needed a rehydration sachet......was not a good feeling. So I'm dreaming of rain, imagining those cool trickles missing my coat and going down my neck......into the leak in my boots....one day it will happen.... One day it will rain again!! 🤪 🤯🫩

This was pretty much me earlier! Standing on stuff that held my weight for (just about) long enough 🤣🙄 and on a virtually vertical ladder that was wedged between fat sharp rose stems and a lot of cut branches...... I trimmed the top & sides of a beautiful pine arbour! I was determined to do it.... and that determination gave me super powers! 😂
🤭 I confess to one short expletive when the ladder 🪜 shifted under me, but even at 45 degrees sideways, it held me up long enough! Legs wobbled a bit as I got down but I did it! Yes! 👍🤣
An "oh Sarah!" moment for sure!🤭

Please sign to ban these disposable bbqs... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We want the Government to introduce a nationwide ban on the sale of single-use disposable barbecues. Disposable BBQs are increasingly linked to preventable wildfires, which poses a serious risk to public safety, wildlife, and emergency services. Also, disposable BBQs contribute to unnecessary waste

Touch of nauseous heatstroke today - almost had to use my w**d bucket 🤮 Not fun gardening in this weather 🥵 Even I'm beginning to get tired of it. Please let it cool a tiny bit! 🙏 But today was Pyracantha day - both customers with big prickly monsters to tame! Miraculously, no thorns in my fingers! Result!
👍😁👍
