This week I have been planting more trees! on the top lawn, as if we don’t have enough already at “Hemingway” Not being a very capable gardener, I am at least enthusiastic. I do try to keep these rather large gardens tidy with a lot of help from my brother-in-law who is so helpful with all the heavy work. I felt a new border would be nice to create a bit of interest near to the ‘House of Hope’. This idea is slowing taking place, with the clever removal of a rather large amount of turfs with a special spade, this one borrowed from a rather kind neighbour that allowed the careful slicing out of the turfs to be used elsewhere. One side of the border, some small evergreens are to be planted and the rest hopefully a colourful rose bed. Once established, a much needed vegetable patch beyond will be started. Having such a large garden the time has come for us to make it a lot more productive. We enjoy so much, and use all the apples and blackberries we harvest now and with the wonderful vegetables from Sister Jenny’s crop, which are so good, we have decided to use this valuable land to further good use, watch this space…
