At the weekend I was accused of being a fair weather gardener, well yes I guess I am. I am of the opinion that much of the commercial gardening I do will do more damage to soil structure if I do it in the wet than any benefit that might come about. Because of this I have got very behind with some of my customers gardens and very behind with my own. Given that I am working in some one else's garden when ever the weather allows mine has been very neglected. On Saturday I agreed with the family not to work, and of course it was the best day for some time. I actually did do a bit in my own garden!
I cut the grass, trimmed the hedge (rather unevenly) and made a start on controlling the Winter Jasmine. I have decided to take this out, it is too rampant and tends to swamp the rose growing next to it. On Sunday I had hoped to carry on, but yes more rain. Pretty much as soon as I got back from Church it started to rain so no more work in the garden. As I had planned to carry on where I had been working I left a tub trug out when I just looked at it there must be nearly three inches of rain in the bottom, that is from Saturday evening to mid day Monday. And we still have a hosepipe ban.
