Ruby’s Garden

I know it’s not Tuesday – but the weather was lovely, so after finishing a few things around home I slipped down to Ruby’s for a couple of hours to tackle another part of her garden.

Ruby was also taking advantage of the sun with a few clothes on the line! She tried some weeding but said she was a bit wobbly and nearly fell into a garden plot, so decided she was safer in her chair soaking up some rays.

This is a plot that Ruby has planted several rows of bulbs. I thought it would be a good place to concentrate on today

It was fiddly work actually… I couldn’t dig because I didn’t want to disturb the bulbs, but the ground was soft enough to pull them out fairly easily – just so many tiny ones so it took time. The main thing was to get most out before they could flower and spread more seed.

Surprisingly, even though we are not yet in winter, a good number of the bulbs are showing green!! The seasons have been so topsy turvy I wonder how this year will go and what will bloom when!

I did some other random weeding around and picked up a few more potatoes

Still the occasional beautiful rose will show its face in Ruby’s garden! They are such a pleasure!

Of course after all the rummaging about in the dirt, its time for a cuppa and some cake – a few other visitors (Fiona, Shirley & of course Margie) were there as well so it was a fun afternoon for us all.

Hope your weeks starts brilliantly!

Cheers
