Bellarosa

This weekend no slacking. Full on gardening. Planted the bedding plants and started on the front garden bed. The fuchsias are starting to look good. Need a few more to open up. Hopefully they will be at there best on the East Carleton Open Garden Day on 29th June 2014.

H's back garden. She has been pulling weeds out like they have gone out of fashion. Another nine bags of garden rubbish to go down the dump tomorrow.  

Picked up new blade for lawn mower today. Will fit to mower tomorrow and cut grass. Should have some nice strips on the lawn. 

Fish pond is looking good. Gone a bit cloudy. Cleaned filter and will see if that has helped. Fish are hungry. 

Had a weekend off from gardening.
