IZ GARDEN DEAD???

...says the comment from IDIOT. Quite the opposite my friend...

The garden is thriving, blooming, rampant, riotous and other similarly evocative words... I just keep forgetting to take my camera...

So, this post is from last Monday really as that's when the work was done. And it's a very exciting time because... we got veg growing... Yep, that's right mum, your son actually made something grow. Here are the little wonders then...

corgettes...

marigolds [and something we don't know what it is]

potatoes

There are also pumpkins and beans, all doing well.

In nemesi news this week, another stronghold was invaded and reclaimed and there's now a rockery on both sides of the steps! They are getting tougher to pull out as there is a new enemy that compliments the nemesi well (in a weed sense). I'll get a pic for next time so we can do the police line up and identify it. Tomorrow, the rest of this bit will be scourged of all these nasties and [imagine a drum roll in your head]............ turf is going in. It's gonna look wicked. Turf is provided (for free) by Sam (ta mate), a fellow willbeagardener, who last week built his own shed. Impressive. We might have to bring the turf on the bus, which could be fun...

David, just so you know as well, I tied up the conifer at the top of the steps to try and straighten it and cut back the massive conifer on the right. I also took down the tree outside Tommi's window and you were right, loads more light by the back door and in Tommi's room. Predictably, of course, Tommi hasn't noticed.....

Bit of self promotion to finish. I am going to post again tomorrow and with the nemesi and his mate gone and the turf down, the before and after photos are gonna rule. Watch this space...
