Since the new Blogger automatic save thing I've had to go into post options to allow comments instead of it automatically happening. You have neighbours roots problems; I have neighbours Russian Vine problems....isn't it a pain when you work so hard on your garden and someone elses plants ruin it for you. Just imagining the look on your face when Tori said she was cleaning her room.....good that your cunning plan worked...lol Rx
So while I spent the whole day yesterday working my socks off - you were too.
All your work shows a drastic change of your garden - wonderful designs - whilst mine looks the same but will less weeds.
Do you change it regularly, I wondered or is it this year you fancied a shake up.
I love all your 'rooms' in your garden - but can't have them here because of the layout.
Keep up the wonderful work.
BTW - I did the same with my son - it upset me that it was a tip, so I just closed the door on it and let it 'steam' if needs be. Didn't nag or moan - just said that it was his personal space so if he wanted to live in a tip - so be it - so long as it did not encroach anywhere else.
It took a while before he decided that not having any clean clothes etc was not a good idea.
I just posted a new post, so perhaps I should check my comments to make sure it's activated. I hate it when they mess about with things with no warning. Your garden looks lovely. You must have been born with green fingers and thumbs! Regarding tidying bedrooms.... both of my sons had the untidiest bedrooms ever, but now they have their own houses, and nothing, I mean NOTHING, is out of place!
I am a stay at home mum, due to a daughter with Neurological Diversity! I am too busy to get bored and how people fit in work I'll never know! I craft, sewing, knitting and anything else that takes my fancy. I garden and have dug up part of my garden for veg patches! I now have two greenhouses both heated! Plus a new jungle bed which I started 2007! This has really captured my imagination to the extent that I now own 30 Brugmansia Bushes/Trees and many other beautiful Exotic Plants, so join me and see what mischief I get up to whilst home alone!!!
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. by Jenny Joseph found here http://www.tonya.me.uk/fun/warning.asp
