Alert ! Danger !

 DO NOT WATCH GARDENING VIDEOS !

They contain too many ideas.  And here, ideas lead to projects ... and projects lead to work for the under gardener !

We were idly watching a video, sponsored by 'The English Gardener' magazine of the nation's best gardens of 2021, as voted for by their readers.  Sue fell in love with an idea in the Eastern Area winning garden ... a formal circular bed in a courtyard. Foolishly I said "oh, we could have that in the grass area in front of the barn".  SILLY

That was Wednesday.  And this is today, Friday,

So that was day 1.  However, I anticipate that progress will be slower once I've removed the topsoil as it is then just rocks ... ie hard labour !

Needless to say life indoors is quiet as the Head Gardener has her head deep into piles of gardening books (in the salon, in the bedroom ...) looking for the 'right' plants for her vision.
