Project: front garden makeover!


Above: one of the roses we planted yesterday, called 'Sexy Rexy'.

The last two days I have had my wonderful Pal, Ali, up to visit, and she has helped me to tackle the wilderness of the front garden!

Day one: We dug out a trench in the front garden, around the retaining wall. Then we planted five roses along it.
The next day we went out and brought some nice organic compost to spread over the heavy clay soil, which will help break it up and nurture the roes. Ali reckons they will be very happy there, in their posy in the sun!

Some of the roses we planted include the following: Dublin Bay, Sexy Rexy, Just Joey, Electron, and Landora. Below are Electron, Landora, and Dublin Bay.
