Green fingers or black thumb

I've spent the second Sunday running gardening. Somebody stop me.

I've got a long garden mostly down to grass with what I call my conservation area ( read totally neglected) beyond the old coal house. I got a jobbing gardener in to kill one area of grass to put in an herbaceous border. Once it was dead I phoned him to come and dig it for me but he was on holiday. I'm away animal and house sitting next week so I had to do some digging myself as I had already bought the plants.

I managed to dig out a quarter over two sundays and have now planted the plants. They just fill the area I had dug.

By the time My gardener and I can get together the rest of the garden will be annuals and my perennials will be ready for splitting next year.

Watch you back with all that digging!
I'm jealous. Our garden is - well, lying fallow for a bit. You wanna come and do some more digging??

Considering the size of my garden and what I intend to do with it I can fit you in about the year 3000. April 24th suit you?

Consults diary... Mmm. That should be OK. What's left of the grass might be a bit long by then though.
