The Designer Gardens

First task of the day was to trim the Pittosporum with the extending handled shears . first pic is as high as I could reach from the ground . hence the muffin top look!

and here’s the result after I’d stood on a solid garden chair . I know ‘elf and safety’ would have a fit but I can’t balance on steps or a ladder these days .

Then I divided a Heuchera to make four plants from one . kept two for myself

Cleaned the birdbath just in time for Mr & Mrs Blackbird to have a warm bath

Stopped to look at this hard working Bee

Checked the Penstemon seedlings are growing

and the cuttings of Pyracantha & Escallonia haven’t died off!

Filled up the feeders for the birds and just enough peanuts for Sid Squirrel . look at the almost ripe Plums too!

Cut some Sweet Peas for indoors

Penstemon ‘Garnet’ has survived the Winter to show it’s pretty flowers again

so has this Polemonium ‘Bambino Blue’

The Eucalyptus is thriving in the front garden

and the Hostas are loving their pots
