Description


The gate between my garden and my neighbours. Sadly, after more than 35 years , they are moving . One of the reasons is that neither of us can find a proper gardener to help with our plots. The only folk we have tried have been 'Three L's': Lollipops, Lawns and Leaf-blowers. I have very little lawn, I hate lollipopped shrubs, and leaf-blowers make me very, very angry. I should like to find someone who can actually tell couchgrass from dahlias. I shall probably try to carry on till I get moved to a slab, but they are downsizing.

A wonderful shot, the onlooker must have seen many backbreaking hours of labour! I totally understand your dilemma Andrea. There are so many demands to keeping a good garden in shape! Finding a reliable assistant when chores are demanding seems impossible these days. They all try to be a niche product don't they! Not everyone wants " low maintenance " solutions, we enjoy the challenges of exotic and demanding plants as part of our hobby! I do believe without my garden to motivate me into getting up and doing something everyday I would have been gone by now! I dread to think when I cannot cope how it will end up though!

Anyone who would stand on a gate like that has got to have a hole in their head. Have you been able to find any help from the gardening groups in your area?

I am currently without gardener too; can't find one who speaks enough English to understand "remove the weeds" and "don't just blow the leaves into a pile under the shrubs". It shouldn't be that hard! Love this view of your little garden guardian!

I really like this capture, I like the lookout, she looks great there. It's always sad when good neighbours move, I have known that situation. On the brighter side of things you certainly don't live in a shoddy neighbourhood so the calibre of new neighbours will hopefully be fine for you there.

She is so cute and sad to not be able to find good help. Lets not be talking about slabs yet - I am older than you!

I wonder what what activities in your garden would require a lookout? Gardening is art, for me any other approach is a waste of time.
