Jackie has been working her way down the Gazebo Path eradicating the minuscule pernicious onion bulbs.
She has now discovered some of them springing from beneath the heavy iron wheels buried in the gravel. I will therefore need to defer my next attempt at drawing the path until they have been reinterred.
While I was watching the Women’s Six Nations Rugby match between Scotland and Italy,
Jackie extracted the wheels, removed the bulbs, and photographed
her work, then lined up the heavy metal which I pictured, ready for reburial tomorrow.
In today’s culling effort I retained in my iPhoto collection only the header from
This evening we dined on Jackie’s flavoursome lemon chicken and colourful savoury rice, with green beans, accompanied in my case by the last of the Merlot.
I admire Jackie’s persistence.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Jackie is amazing, Derrick. That is hard work.
Thank you very much, Robbie.
Wow, Jackie has been working so hard! Lemon chicken, yum!
Like Laurie, I also admire Jackie’s persistence. I’m also impressed with the determination and resilience of the wild onion bulbs. Are they edible or poisonous?
Apparently they don’t taste very nice. Thanks very much, Rosaliene
What a pity!
Those little onions are tenacious, but I suspect Jackie is even more so. Derrick are the wagon wheels there for support?
Just a decoration, Alys. Thanks very much
I certainly hope the little onions are gone for good, never to return!
We are not under any delusions about that – but at least there will be less of them. Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
And I was excited to buy one wheel! Jackie must sleep good at night.
Thank you very much, Diane
I may have missed it in the past, but — what’s the purpose of burying those wheels? I came up with several fanciful explanations, but I’m sure none of mine are correct! Is it to keep the gravel from shifting?
It is just enough to make them stand up, Linda. Thanks very much.
Outstanding effort by Jackie! I imagine those wheels are heavy.
Yes. Thank you very much, Merril
Impressive work. Those wheels make sn excellent photo. That woman deserved to be taken out to dinner for all that work! Dinner sounds delicious.
It will come, Pat. Thank you very much
A timely coincidence, the resurrection and reburial of the wheels, Derrick…
So it is. Ivor. Thank you very much
Did she put her shoulder to the wheel?
Probably
Thanks a lot Tootlepedal
I love the photos with the wheels.
Why do you bury them?
Jackie is amazing with all the gardening AND cooking delicious meals. I’d definitely need a nap in between. The wheels are a great border decoration.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Jackie is an amazing woman of many talents, Derrick! Dinner always sounds wonderful, too.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
Looks like Jackie has done a wheely good job!
I agree Jackie is amazing and I humbly feel you two make a perfect team
Wishing you both a lovely week ahead
What a lot of delightful wheels! Did you inherit them with the garden, or are they recycling finds?
That came with the garden we were delighted to find, Anne. Thank you very much
I find Jackie’s wheel work to be exciting! Looks so beautiful, Jackie!
(((HUGS))) and
Thank you very much from each of us, Carolyn XX
I like the wheel trail!
Thank you very much, GP
The wheels are fascinating! Jackie is a real gem and so are you. You make a lovely couple.
Thank you so much, Eugi
Those wheels are beautiful. I’d not seen or heard of burying them in the pathway. Interesting! ~Ed.
They gradually sink to a level under their own weight
I love those old wheels, a great find. I hate gravel areas, the weeds always seem to fins a way through ours.
Thank you very much, Sue
The wheels are cool.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Those wheels look really heavy
Some are. Thanks very much, Sheree
