2025 - What I did today

I bought a 3kg bag of daff bulbs on Saturday so cleared out the bedding from some beds in preparation for planting bulbs. Sunday planted bulbs and overplanted wallflowers. Today will be making sure the silly old duffer doesn't fall of his ladder whilst he cuts the conifer hedge, ready to fill the green bin up for Wednesday. I'm not sure what good I am standing at the bottom of the ladder, if he's going to fall, he's going to fall, but at least he might have a soft landing if he aims properly.   otherwise it'll be in the pond.

Silly old duffer survived to tell the tale. No elderly gentlemen were harmed in the making of this photo. This was when he was only half way up, later he was on the top of the extended ladder, leaning over the top of the hedge,  height wasn't a worry, the lack of ladder foot room was.  The hedge has gotten out of control, his health didn't allow the work last year and we're reaping the result this year. Both green bins are full, hedge has hardly been touched. Sobering.
