Gardening is a matter of your enthusiasm holding up until your back gets used to it. ~Author Unknown
Well, I've made a start on clearing the ivy in the long bed - five bags waiting to go into the compost maker at our local recycling centre. (Although it doesn't look much sitting there, I'd like to point out - ahem - that those white bags are quite large - really huge, in fact.) I paced out the task (to ease my aching back from all the bending over) and I reckon another six sessions should do it. (On the other hand, we'd get it all done in one session if the Commuuuuuuuunity gets behind it. Perhaps an appropriately applied welly boot would do the trick… )
On another note, anyone who's looked at these pages before might notice that I've finally put aside the time to figure out how to install a subscription feed. Yup. Now you can have my latest mutterings delivered to your mailbox! (But only if you click the link in the sidebar on the left.)
Now, as I've been sitting at my computer for too long and have got a bit chilled, I'm off to look for rainbows of colour via a nice long Thanksgiving walk on Hampstead Heath, and to warm up and enjoy this beautiful, but cold, London day.
Phase 3 of Beetroot Mania will be revealed tomorrow. See you soon friends!
Another six sessions? I think I underestimated how much ivy you had to clear. It will be worth it in the end though.
