Jackie spent much of the day on watering, planting; and laying a thick carpet of clippings from climbing flora, mostly blue solanum, from the arch above the Brick Path beneath which It had become impossible for anyone much above Ellie’s height to pass without a risk of being garrotted.
It fell to me this afternoon to snip a few more stems from the foliage
and bag it all up for eventual removal to the dump.
This evening we all dined on Becky’s pork and apple casserole hammed up by the chef,
and creamy mashed potato bearing a soupçon of skin, which I photographed prematurely.
Jackie drank Zesty and I drank more of the Cabernet Sauvignon
A busy day by all involved.
You all work hard and eat hearty!!
Thanks very much, GP
Love those garden paths and arbours.

Fun wordplay. 😉

That’s a lot of yard waste to remove, wow! Becky’s creation looks so delicious! ❤️
Thank you very much, John
I have about 5 of those bags after my weeding session last night. Looks like a productive day.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Is that a record number of bags for you to send to the dump?
Not a record, but a two trips number, John. Thanks very much
You guys were busy.

The garden path looks beautiful, Derrick and Jackie! The dinner Becky is making looks delicious! Much love to all of you.
Thank you so much from us all Lavinia
Ironically, the more compost you put into the garden, the more clippings you have to take away …
Some kind of law I would say. Cheers, Ivor

That garden path looks magical! Fun in the kitchen.

Lovely garden shots. My mum hates potato skins and would have a fit if I left them on. ????
I leave them on – Jackie doesn’t
A lot of the minerals are in the skin
Agreed
The brick walkway is stunning, Derrick.
