THAT LAST GARDEN WILL GET MOSTLY DONE TODAY

 

Let's work on the last garden, TAKE TWO.

Lacy IS coming over this morning.  We will go and get the last load of rocks (I hope), then we can do the darn thing.  I really can't wait until it's all done and dusted.

ABOVE:  I've got three plants to dig out of the garden and put in pots.   Then transplant some iris's into a garden just outside our boundary (totally acceptable to do btw), then we can lay down the weed mat, then the rocks.

ABOVE:  There's three hydrangeas and a small maple tree in this garden, and they are staying in the ground.

The other thing to do is fill one of the Vegetable Pods and plant my lettuce plants. We will fill the other one with some tomato plants soon.

Stew dragged me into the garage last night when I got home from WW.

He'd had 'an idea' for my design board.  And it didn't entail putting it where I had envisioned.  IF it happens, I'll show you once it's done.

He comes up with some bright ideas sometimes!  😂😉😅

Right, that's me for now... catch ya later.

8.30 am, and how quickly I change my mind!

ABOVE:  #2 hydrangea has gone in a pot, as I need that space for the water fountain.

And one of the other plants that was designated a pot is going in the 'outside boundary' garden.

I've already planted all my lettuces, most in one of the new Vege Pods, and a few in an existing Vege pod.

Lacy is on her way shortly, so I'm taking a little break.

ABOVE: First job was to haul everything out of that garden.  DONE.

ABOVE:  Off to get rocks.  I am a nervous passenger, particularly when the driver is a mad woman.

ABOVE:  We wanted 10 bags, so Lacy helped the lady.  They got them bagged up in no time.

ABOVE: Seems it was REQUIRED to pose beside the new van.  VAN needs a name.  Any ideas?

ABOVE:  Progress shots.  

ABOVE:  What we got done today.  It is not quite finished.  We have to move the fountain, and get about 3 more bags of rocks.

OMG I am over rocks!

BUT, it is so worth it to have carefree gardens, that look amazing.

It's now 12.02 pm, Lacy has left and I'm now going to have some lunch and put me feet up for a while.  I'm knackered.

3.41 pm.  I decided on a spur of the moment to attend the Resident's Monthly Meeting here in the Village.  I think I've been to one or two before.

It was interesting and informative. 

And, kinda nice I went, as the two ladies and I who sewed up the Christmas Runners for the Village were given this:

ABOVE:  A lunch on the house.  Nice.  I shall probably go to that next week.

After the meeting there was tea/coffee and cake in the dining room, so a chance to sit and chat with a few people.  

Now that I'm home again, I really am going to just chill out for a while.

It is stinking HOT, so the fan is on me, and I'm comfy.

9.04 pm.  We ended up at the pub for a littlel dinner, and caught up with a few friends.

It ABSOLUTELY PISSED DOWN while we were there!  Rivers of water all over the carpark!

At least I don't need to water any pots for a few days.

We are now home, watching the telly, then it will be off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
