Share the love

This morning myself and John headed back to Mrs P's garden to tackle 18 months of overgrown weeds!

John tackled the nettles, brambles and blackberry bush, at one point ending up lost amongst a giant hydrangea in his bid to get out all the roots.

Meanwhile, Jen took on the ground level weeds, having to check regularly with the very knowledgeable Mrs P which greenery was weeds and which were plants.

All the while we were watched over by the adorable Shih Tzu Honey - unfortunately Amber the Chihuahua was more interested on fertilising the garden in her own special way!!

Despite this being the second visit to Mrs P's garden, there is still more to do - watch this space for the next mission!
