Still working on the flowerbed

But I have also done the lawns so no slacking.

Progress on the other flowerbed.

Concrete foundation.


Strawberries - for us not squirrels.

And then there were five...

Flowerbeds

Top dressed with chicken manure.



Starting on the next one .



The young squirrels are not shy!



(Eating pineapple core from the compost bin)

Safe.

Strawberries safe inside their fruit cage!


Grassy bank.

Progress on the flowerbed.

And the start of a new flowerbed in the goose field.

Hot day.

Whew. Summer is here.
Making a new flowerbed in the football field.



And putting the turf on the long pond bank


A young heron has adopted us and appears regularly - I suspect he is after the baby frogs. He has taken to perching on things and looks like a long necked peacock.

Visitors gone so back to work...

Second strawberry bed cover



Very necessary as there are four squirrels cleaning up round the bird table - one adult and three young.


Roger - after you left the sun came out and so did the leaches!

Visitors.

Roger and Judith are here.
Dolaucothi Gold mine yesterday. Up to the trig point today.

Busy day.....

Shopping for the visitors (Roger and Judith) and also for slippers!

Then more gardening (also for the visitors)

Then washing the Spanish dust off RosieMay.

A pleasant day gardening

Weeding and mowing.

And just look at all the little frogs!

Brighter.

Ceilings finished.

Now back to the garden!

Is there anything worse.....

than painting a ceiling?



Yes. Painting a wooden ceiling! We have decided we want more lightness of being in the sitting room so the ceiling are being painted. But with gloss paint that drips! (Satinwood actually).

A day indoors.

Rain today so I spent the day working on a new site for the local History Group.

Just another day.

Most of my day was spent planting forty broom plants - grown from seed - as part of the hedge between the football field and the sheep field.


A certain amount of time was spent admiring the lupins....





And the rest of the day was spent picking caterpillars off the gooseberry bushes - last year they ate every leaf so this time I am trying to thwart them!
