I am now looking in again more regularly, I just think I forgot the title of your blog but now I can read of your outings again and about our dog, Tess. <br />I think you are marvellous the way you have picked yourself up, moved, and made new friends and how you gone out and met people. I'm sure it would've been so easy to hide away and not have gone out, but we need to see others. I think living on a small estate is ideal in later life; we need people with which to socialize if not to live in each other's pockets. <br />I hope you manage to dispatch the mare's tails! Fortuantely, we've not had those in our garden, but there are plenty of other weeds! Sending very best wishes from South Devon.<br />Margaret P<br />www.margaretpowling.comgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-57367550031914321392018-10-22T23:08:13.983-07:002018-10-22T23:08:13.983-07:00Love the tranquil nature of your life, the garden ...Love the tranquil nature of your life, the garden is looking good.

I like gardening, but having one that is not too much upkeep I think is important. I have an oak tree next to mine and though it's lovely to look at, oh it does shed its leaves.

My gardener followed the instructions on the very expensive tin of specialised week killer I bought (sixty pounds for a tin - enough for two applications) it was done once when the plants were twelve inches high and it killed all the top growth but I am expecting it back next year, probably weakened. The tin says it will take five years to get rid of altogether.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-69184036619551524262018-10-22T13:51:18.482-07:002018-10-22T13:51:18.482-07:00Thank you for showing us your garden.
