2022 - What I did today

Up at 7am and in the garden by about half nine. I feel like I've done loads, but I've hardly done anything on my to-do list!

I've mulched the beds that were just soil with compost. I've also spread some bark chippings as paths between beds. I've already used up two of my three bags of chippings and they haven't gone terribly far. I've scattered some Grow-more around (I was hoping not to need it, but the compost really hasn't been great this year). I've chopped down a fuchsia that I wasn't keen on - it's the first shrub to be completely removed from the garden (well, I say removed but I've not dug it up so I suspect it will send new growth out yet). I've done some watering. I've also sat and sorted through a huge pile of prunings to save any decent sticks that can be used for support. Then I sat and chopped up some of the rejected prunings to add to the compost pile.

After all that, I'm ready for a break. However, I won't get back to the things on my to-do list as we're celebrating my Mum's birthday this afternoon (she spent her actual birthday dealing with funeral stuff). I just have to stay awake now!
