The Sort Out

The past couple of week I have been busy on my days off sorting out the garden. I finally decided to get rid of the unused barque that was falling to bits.. Due to weather and the little family of woodlice. Which I'm not entitle sure how they have moved in. Maybe its due to the plant swapes/shares and buying! I really do not mind how they have moved in, I think they are cute..



Has you can see from the picture above (1) the barque has gone... Also remember the New Zealand Flax? That my aunt was going to have, well she never came to get the flax. Then last winter hit and I believe the flax died, so I sorted the pot out and bagged up the plant. The picture is above (2) is how the planter is looking at the moment..

Blooming good!

Remember last month I wrote about how the local council gardening team had nearly destroyed the park garden or aka Saint Johns Gardens! 

Last month!

I wrote how I was worried about how and what they were doing or going to be doing to the gardens...  

Putting my worry's and fears to one side now.  Has I have some very happy news. . . The local gardeners have put a basic wooden fence up. Not very completed in places. But better than nothink - right? 


Has you can see the other trees in the park are all in bloom! Only down side is the boarders were the fence goes into are now empty, I just hope that they the gardening team puts some shrub's in at a later date!


I do like how the gardening team have used railway sleepers in one of the corners. 

Back to my grandmother's tree.  At a glance the tree looks like it's doing no think. 


It is only when I got up close and personal I saw in fact that the tree is in bud!


Before I finish this post I have been looking back on my #treefollow journey. I can not quite believe its been a year since I joined!!  I know for sure I will keep this #treefollowing going..
