| Beating the rain! |
Head Gardener has been a tad busy working above and looking down upon the garden lately! She has been busy painting the eaves of the house. Such an opportunity was just too good to miss but it was weird seeing the garden from such a height!

Now painting is all finished, it's back to gardening BIG time. With all the heat and rain, everything has been growing furiously. With August's garden visits looming ever closer, Head Gardener was just beginning to feel a little uneasy at so many overdue jobs. Luckily Chris arrived unusually early this Saturday and together, we just ploughed on. Edging, strimming, trimming, weeding.....it was just non stop - that was until about 5pm when heavy rain stopped play. As well as house painting, a couple of garden projects were completed whilst Chris G was working here. He made a new Wisteria arch enabling me to train our (historic) wisteria to grow from the Studio across to the front of the barn. He also erected some shelves on the end of the tool shed and detached the well covers enabling me to remove much of the well fern growth and also creosote the lids before reinstalling them.
We finished the day feeling smug as we'd beaten the rain and we're rather more in control again - phew!
