Thursday, the day I always work the hardest.
No, not mowing, general gardening or landscaping. Not even beavering away in my workshop, nor attacking the DIY chores piling up around the house.
You see, Thursday is when ‘Captain Chaos’ pays us a visit. We look after him for the day. He is the most adept cake converter there is, yet he is only a month short of being four years old. I am referring to our grandson William of course. A dose of his presence makes good all that’s gone before. A delightful day in the presence of a delightful boys’ boy.
Rain is forecast for this afternoon and the sand won’t be ready for collection till tomorrow morning, so a break in construction is in order.
However, Mrs Snippets bade me plant various hostas on the shady bank adjacent to the pond site. So her command was my pleasure. I drilled out the holes, popped the plants in, back filled and spread grit around them to help protect them from any slugs. Young hostas are particularly vulnerable but are more slug resistant once matured.
I then planted another clematis under the obelisk elsewhere in the garden.
I mentioned above drilling out holes for the plants, yes drilling,
You see I have just acquired a 100mm auger for my cordless drill, specifically designed for the purpose. An excellent tool that I can readily recommend. There are slightly cheaper versions but at £22 delivered I consider it to be good value. It is an ideal tool for planting bulbs too.
