Throughout the day the temperature was hot and the skies sunny.
Suddenly the pink climbing rose on the front trellis is blooming.
This morning Martin first retrained the jasmine against the new fence, whilst I dead headed and weeded,
albeit lacking the ability to kneel or the staying power he demonstrated later.
I also produced three other garden views labelled in the gallery. The Wonderful Grandparents rose in the bottom lefthand corner of the first has four clusters of healthy buds.
This evening we repeated last night’s menu and beverage.
Martin looks like such a jovial sort!
Gardens are looking spectacular.
Thank you so much, Dale

I want a Martine in my garden. Can you seen him over Derrick?
He would have to be beamed up, Scottie
Love that humo/ur ????

I’d say Martin is a man who enjoys his work!
Yes. And this is his favourite garden, Liz. Thanks very much.
You’re welcome. I’m not surprised that your garden is his favorite.
Martin is a treasure for your garden! I’m glad you guys got some warm, sunny weather for a change. ????
Thank you so much, John
You’re welcome! ☺️
Love to see and hear about hard working men. Both you keep up the good work.????????????
Thanks very much, Pat
A pretty pink climbing rose sounds lovely. I have a white one but I haven’t seen a pink one except at a Botanical garden we once visited. Knees can be a bother in the garden. 🙂
Thanks very much, Chrissy. You would know
You have a wonderfully cheerful gardener.
We do. Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
We’re hot and sunny here today too. l seriously swear that we are weather twins! <3

Martin does great work! I enjoy all these colorful garden photos, Derrick and Jackie. Our roses, what is left of them, are a long way from blooming.

Your gardener does excellent work! I appreciate you sharing your garden with us.
It is looking more beautiful each day.
My delight in the warmer weather is the satisfaction of drying laundry outside in a gentle warm breeze.
Thanks very much, Sue. That is a lovely image

Three cheers for sun and time in your beautiful garden. I’m glad you’re feeling well enough to weed and deadhead flowers.

Your garden is so beautiful, Derrick. I would love to sit there and have my morning coffee. It’s so wonderful you have Martin to help you. I know he does great work, and he seems such a pleasant person to have around.
Yes indeed, Merril. That would be really good. Thank you very much
Simply splendid
