More gardening

I did more of my north facing border on Monday and Tuesday.  I know you have to be careful pruning a hydrangea so I looked it up on the internet.  It flowers on last year’s growth, so it won’t flower if you cut it all down.  This bush is quite big, so I pruned out a few of the outside stems.  It’s a lace cap hydrangea.

And here’s some of my old terracotta pots on those old steps!

Mum came over to help yesterday (Wednesday)

I didn’t have much time today, so I swept the patio again, and watered some of my pots on the patio.  Here’s my little ‘nursery’ where I’ve potted up some little seedlings I’ve found in the garden.

And look!  My fuschias are beginning to grow!

Love your pots I knew those steps had character!
You mentioned your mum, my MIL loved to come over and work in my garden, Daniel(my oldest) was over here this evening helping me with a vegetable bed, he mentioned how much he missed her. She loved to dig in the dirt as she put it.
