Well life carries on, I see that I have not mentioned much about gardens for a while, I have not lost interest in gardens, indeed since I spend at least five days a week gardening it would be difficult to. I think it is more that as I am at it every day it just doesn't seem so special. But now is the time I love most, putting out the bedding, yesterday I spent the afternoon planting up containers for one customer, this felt a bit like a guilty joy since there is so much in that garden that needs doing, having the fun of planting up the pots seemed a bit like cheating. Still the customer is happy and I can go back next week and tackle some of the other jobs.
Another garden I will be working on next week has just about all the problem weeds there are, with ground elder, bind weed, and mare's tail you would think that was enough, but no someone has planted ferns which are out of control, and worst of all, bamboo! Now bamboo is a lovely plant, with interesting colour in the canes, translucent screening, and most of all I love the sound of it rustling in the wind, however it is just too invasive for suburban gardens. Bamboo should never be planted in any garden where the size is measured in anything smaller than acres. I will try to make a point of taking my camera out this week and getting some photos to show you what I spend my days doing.
