Scarecrows?

No just two old fools on a mission.

We were anxious to move on with the ex-box hedge project. There is really no pressure to complete it other than we want the job finished. We have found the final plants on line and plan to collect them in December when we are in the UK. Unfortunately the weather has changed from perfect gardening weather (mid twenties) to absolutely freezing over night. The fools were not deterred however, we found our thermal vests and three winter jumpers and the Michelin men started to dig up cat mint (nepeta) from other areas of the garden to plant in this bed. The idea is that it will spread to cover the soil and require virtually no maintenance but at the same time be covered in flowers all summer. That is the idea!!

All this clearing up in the garden has prompted us to set up the porcherie as a studio for BOTH of us to work in during the winter. We don't plan to waste a minute. Well that is the idea!!
