IN OUR GARDEN 2023

Oh look at the eggs. How lovely. Thanks for posting. The eggs were a great colour, almost like a purple speckle against a buff background. Nice colou combination for indoors!
 
No gardening today for me as we are going from "before" to "after". Yes - the fence is being built the wrong way (ie we get the less good side - but it will be a nice solid fence which shuld last longer than the panels) but it was the only way to get round all my shrubs. He had a nightmare getting round next door's fir tree but they have very few shrubs to hinder progress.
Leaning over into next door the last photo shows what it looks like

Looks good Jan. Nice neat job around the tree too. Hoping to see more tomorrow when it's finished.

I've just watered the garden today, I've been painting some internal doors.

Thanks - I was quite pleased as I was a bit concerned about that tree. Next door do nothing with it - we get our side shaped a couple of times a year. Still I can't complain as they have let the men work in their garden and store the timber there. I have had nothing my side apart from the old panels which have now gone.

I did nip out and water when the men finished for the day. Just had a shower of rain - didn't last long.
 
Hope your fence is coming along nicely Jan? Be sure to post as soon as you feel like it. Having people round to do jobs can be exhausting sometimes.

Just watering for me today, I've finished my egg shell woodwork painting in the hall and kitchen.

It is finished. Delighted and so is my neighbour.
Here we are - dodging between the shrubs. Slightly higher than old fence so neighbours apple tree doesn't lean as much :D

I have 3 sweet cherry trees with a total of 5 cherries ! One of my apple trees is looking very poorly but still has apples growing well. Sweet peas, annual { lovely scent } & perennial, same flower but no scent, in fact all flowers are blooming lovely !! Sadly i have an invasion of what i think are Buttercups that are sending out runners. I can`t dig them out without also digging up other plants. Guess i will just have to put up with the Buttercups !

How long is the fence, or how long is your garden Jan?

Sorry Kat needed to work it out. Garden is around 50 ft. Fence slightly shorter as it ends in a piece of trellis. As we are almost on a bend the garden tapers to a point. Very odd but the fence across the bottom actually belongs to a house 4 doors down the road. Long but narrow as the house is typical terraced - all rooms behind one another.
