Days of old!

could you put some "before" and "after" pics in a blog, for comparison?

sorry to hear you're not as able as you used to be - gets to us all eventually

I'll have to look out some 'after' photos and have a go! I think I have probably put some more recent photos on but not 'blog'.

thanks, Shirly, I'll keep an eye out for them

How beautiful, Shirley! I can see how much work you must have put into it.

Thank you Melchisdec, it was my favourite pastime then & would be now if I could manage it!!
That took hours spent doing whatever I could find to do, but I can only do about half hour at a go now & it's not the same!

It never is when you have to work in short bursts - knowing ou've got to stop soon sort of makes you feel like not starting at all. Well, it does me! Pacing is one thing, shift-work is something else. Really hope you can find someone to help with the work - lol it'll still be your work, but you just "diect"!!

What a gorgeous garden you have .

Lovely garden & what a beautiful Fuchsia. Does sound as tho' you need to get in some help, after all it's what gives you the most pleasure & we all have our different things that we like to spend on. For some it's clothes & for others plants or our gardens etc. good luck with it this year.

The fuchsia was there for years Feverfew, I two in big barrels like that, but they have gone now.

Once a gardener, always a gardener, Shirley! My mum is 87 and still loves her garden, even though it is only a small one now. Obviously she is now limited in what she can do. I'm visiting her tomorrow to help her plant some primulas.

Wish my daughter was a keen gardener!
