| Trimmed box |
Only 1 Saturday left before Open Gardens weekend! Am I nervous? You BET I am! The 'Panic' list seems endless and it's not just gardening jobs. Now, I have catering to consider too. The very worst thing is having no idea of visitor numbers. Will anyone even come? Could the kettle be overwhelmed with thirsty visitors? Will it pour (the weather not the kettle!) with rain for both days? Oh well - no going back now! At least the violent thunder storms and equatorial rain we had yesterday didn't quite flatten everything! For once, I'd got around to doing some staking so only the meadow grass was smashed down.

| Re-upholstered Yew Sofa |
More weeding, mowing and edging needed! Geraniums to plant out, Forget-me-nots to pull out - I said the list was endless! Chris did lots of hedge cutting yesterday including the circular Box hedge around the well and the Yew sofa which had some serious re-upholstery as it had outgrown its frame and its allotted space! A few patchy places but nothing that won't green up - that's the advantage of Yew! And - yes, you can actually sit on it! Going back to the Box, it's gradually being reshaped on the top and we hope that the shadow thrown by the pump means that we can make it into a living sundial. Well - that's our idea!!
