Green fingers...

Before winter hit (we are still waiting!) I decided to take the opportunity to do some gardening on the weekend of 28/29 October when the weather proved to be marvellous for such a task. I did a good clean up removing weeds and dead leaves in inconvenient places (tend to leave some leaves under bushes just in case another toad appears or even a hedgehog - if it can fit under my gate). I also dug proper borders for my beds, planted some winter pansies and banished a couple of my indoor cyclamens to the garden pots. At the end of the weekend I was really proud of my garden and of the work I had managed to do. Only problem now is that since winter has sort of hit I can’t really see my garden during the week (I leave home in the dark and return in the dark) and on the weekends I haven’t really bothered to venture outside much, so I am suspecting that my garden needs another clearing! Any volunteers? I must let you know though, that my banished cyclamens are doing really well and are still growing and flowering and looking all pretty. Clearly they like cool, wet weather and don’t mind all the winds we have been having. At least I still have some colour in the garden other than green!
