A little aside... in the garden.

The inside of the house is a tip - and to cheer myself up I have moved to the outside for a bit. There is a little flowerbed in the back yard that could do with a little TLC and so I decided to do something about it as there is not much for me to do inside at the moment.

I went to a plant auction in Spalding and had rather a good time. I bought a boot load of plants for a fraction of the price that I would usually have to pay and so set about planting them at the house. That's when I discovered the previous owner's pet graveyard - dead rats! Once the nausea passed and I bagged up the remains, I planted the new plants and gave them a good watering. If I plant them now they will have a chance to get established so they will look their best when I come to sell.

I stood back and surveyed my handy work, and congratulated myself on a job well done. Now I bet we have the hottest May on record and they all die!
