Christmas Eve Visit

A Christmas Eve visit and it's a little warmer than it has been in the last week and another bash at getting the bindweed out of the last red raspberry bed.

I would be so knackered without the long handled fork and trowel from Kent & Stowe. As I can't get down on my hands and knees anymore and have to just bend down and with the arthritis in my hands it's taking me ages to get as much bindweed out of this bed as I possibly can, before I mulch it. You can see in the photo I have half filled the green tug with bindweed roots, and only one half of the bed has been worked so far.

After a while I reverted to getting the rotting woodchip off the membrane path and topped up the second square flower bucket and nearly filled the third one.

Then after standing for way too long I got the seat out and sat there happily cutting up the raspberry canes, and just enjoying watching my little red breasted friend looking for things to eat where I had been working.

My Robin is getting way too tame and pops into my potting shed to let me know he wants feeding even after I was providing him with worms from the path.

I would be so lost without these
