Popular Post Marty Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 Here's my week 50 of 52 monochrome images offering: Another one of the lower garden, after gathering up and burning all the ivy and Russian vine I had cut that had completely overtaken the stone sheds on the left, and all the branches I cut away when tidying the boundary hedge in the upper garden. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much to "see" in this photo, even more incredible for those who know is the progress you've made in restoring the gardens. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually thinking of maybe getting a photobook printed showing the progress. It's almost twelve months now since I started trying to tame the wilderness that the gardens had become after something like ten years of neglect. If I do get the book printed, I might decide use the original colour photographs. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marty Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Here's two images showing the first bit of work I did on reclaiming the garden. Both taken in the upper garden about 3 weeks apart - from late March to mid April 2020, during Ireland's first Covid-19 lockdown.

(Wonder what she wants? ) But what I was especially happy about was the fact that I was still physically capable of doing all that work at my advanced age. I have to admit that when I first started into it, I wasn't sure if I'd actually manage to get it done. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can say that it took an old branch to deal with a bunch of old branches and now I don't want anything 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Happy Saturday, all! Strange day here. Brilliant sunshine at times, which can give way to heavy rain with hardly a moment's notice, and even the occasional shower of hail. And there's a cold wind blowing at times. Around 6°C/43°F - feeling a good bit warmer when the sun shines, but bitterly cold when the wind is blowing. I may wrap up well and try to remove a few more of the roots of bushes and small trees that I didn't get round to last year. But, if I do, I reckon I'll be chased into the house by the wind and rain at times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
