Hi Sue, I took a wander around my garden after the storms and found all my Snowdrops in flower. Beautiful sight and a sure sign that Spring is on the way. I enjoyed seeing your old pictures when you had the lawn. Your Rhododendrons really like that spot don't they? Look at the size of them now!
Your comment prompted me to walk around the garden and yes my snowdrops are in flower too. Sometimes I’m so focused on completing a job I forget to just wander around and enjoy the moment. Thanks for watching 😊
Amazing how the Rhododendrons have grown! I could never have them grow that large here, our winters were just too harsh. Most people who do have them in this area, zone 4b-5 Quebec Canada, grow them up against their homes where they are sheltered. I really think I prefer the path either natural or gravelled, rather than grass. It just reads better with the surrounding environment. You certainly aren’t afraid of hard work are you Sue, 😆. We are kindred spirits! Looking forward to more videos, it helps me to get through our long winters!
It’s all the rain we have here, there’s no stopping them growing. The less grass in the garden the better for me, the older I get I’m looking for ways to reduce the workload , believe it or not 😉. Joking aside I do like to always have several projects on the go at one time, I get bored very easily much to the annoyance of my hubby. Thanks for watching, hope the weather isn’t too bad at the moment but I suspect it is 🙁
Hi Sue, we removed all the grass around our house, and replaced everything with gardens. I can’t stand the noise of a lawnmower, and it looks terrible if it isn’t groomed within an inch of its life.😝 As for getting older,I completely understand, this arthritic 68 year old is having more issues bending knees and my back is arthritic too. But as they say use it or lose it! Happy gardening.👩🌾 @@thequarrygardener5578
The storms have been horrendous here too (Bellingham in Hexham) I’ve yet to venture out in to the garden as yet but hope to make an excuse to get out there soon enough! Even just to clean up ready for spring ❤
So much mess to clean up after a storm I’ve so far turned a blind eye to the trees that have fallen and concentrated on something more interesting. Hopefully your out in the garden today, its very still and mild ideal day for garden cleanups. Thanks for watching 😊
I’ve got lots of seedlings and the main plants are still looking ok so I’m hopeful. They may struggle in your hot humid summer weather, it’s one of the benefits (I’m trying to think of more than one ) of living in a cooler, wet, miserable climate I get to grow them. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Wow, that was a huge job, but it looks great. Do you ever cut the Rhododendrons back some, just to tame them a little? Your gardens are gorgeous. Stay dry if you can!
Sometimes these jobs end up taking so much time and energy because I’ve ignored them for far too long, a huge job all of my own making. I started to cut back the rhododendrons a few years ago after flowering, it’s going to be a gradual task for a few years more. Don’t want to reduce them too much in one go as sometimes they never recover. Thanks for watching 😊 (its another sunny day today 😊)
I love following along on your projects. The path logs work out beautifully. Great work as always!
Lots of projects although sometimes I wonder how interesting they are for people to watch. Thanks as always for the support 😊

Great job. Hope the helibores survive. I have had a hard time getting them started here in my garden in Ohio.
