The assistant gardener

Spud Cat Gardening assistant extraordiniare 























The first assault of the garden went pretty well really, ably assisted or should I say supervised by Spud Cat. Of course a cat shouldn't leave these serious matters to chance and so while we laboured and clipped in the afternoons sunshine, Spud leapt and twirled and came perilously close to the shears. All in all we moved four builders ton bags of debris and trimmings and Spud slept very well that night after his efforts and I do believe it really is starting to look a lot like #Spring in #Cornwall at last!!


















I like to start to trim the box topiary at this time of year because
I don't have so much time later in the summer for the fiddly jobs
























So on with the roller coaster of Spring and looking forward to balmy summer evenings!!

  1. He's just beautiful, isn't he, and full of the joys of Spring!
    Your backs will be needing a massage then after all that effort, I'll put the kettle on!
    As we plough we are surrounded by hundreds of seagulls trying to get a direct hit on the big green tractor and swooping down for worms turned over on the soil; one of the great joys in our way of our life is picnicking on the tractor on a sunny day and it's glorious today....off we go again! Happy gardening. And our 40th anniversary last Sunday...... you can guess where we spent it! Pats. xx.
