Clearing leaves and Getting Wet!

glad you got some gardening done sandra and love your bargain purchase, stunning :o))

ive been sweeping up the leaves too ~ for the 4th time!! green bin full again, they will collect at the end of the month and then not collected again till march i think.
love the amaryllis[?]

still every two weeks here sticki,, and dont think it changes apart from xmas,

this is more than every two weeks ~ huge sacks of leaves ~ the type builders bring sand and cement in!

:o((

We don't have a garden waste collection service,on a routine basis,but can ring them to collect.We have a wild area behind the fence,so usually put them there,as they soon rot down..your plant is a lovely colour,and a great bargain there Sandra..:o))

Interesting about your Clematis, Sandra, I did the same to one in Mums garden and I'm sure it flowered better than ever the next season! I'm only clearing leaves from the path and patio now, the rest will just have to stay and protect the plants, that's my reasoning anyway! Beautiful Hippeastrum you've got there. : o ))

A job well done....sorting out the fallen leaves. Your £1 bargain is giving you a great show of colour too :) I have had my amaryllis for a couple of years and it flowered really well but so far this autumn it hasn't even sent out a green shoot. They are such a cheerful plant although the blooms aren't long lasting in my experience.

It's a beautiful flower. I don't have one this year but I do like them.
I'm pleased you got a lot of gardening done :o)

You were brave to do all that out in the rain! I still have leaves to clear up...where do they come from when the trees around seem to be bare now?

Glad you got a bit of help with all that work Lab, love to see the leaves when the`re on the Trees but oh what a pain in the neck they are when they fall, in the garden that is, love them in the park when its dry and you can crunch your way through them.
