Diary of a weekend gardener

A very social weekend

With good friends up for the weekend (hope you had a good trip back T & E!) the garden rightfully took a back seat to food, wine and company. We all went to Dunham Massey for a constitutional, to watch the deer and for a walk round the gardens - mainly for me to see what's happening as it's not the most exciting time of year for a non-gardener.

Still, got some useful jobs done:
- cleared the pond of most of the duckweed, dead waterlily leaves and surplus vegetation
- finally removed the last of the sweet pea plants and collected some seeds
-re-trained the fig against the house wall
- swept up about 5 bags of leaves. Still need to empty last years wire bin, that's a job for this weekend.

Still so mild - strange things are happening with winter plants in full flower already in places.
