Kennels, Gardening and Plants














On Sunday I thought it was high time I started to dig out the foundations for the dog run that I'm having built. This is the site, as you can see I removed the turf a while back, but due to work or the weather, I have not really progressed. To my delight I found a few more plants in the old flower bed & so dug them out and realised that there was no way I was going to dig out by hand 1 foot by 13 x 13 feet for footings.

Yesterday, I hired a mini digger for the middle of July to do the heavy work for me and also to save my back! Just got to order the scalping, sand & cement, a mixer and a whacker plate and the job will be finished, ready for the kennel people to erect the kennels. Sound so easy!!

Chris phoned on Sunday night saying that the angels have looked down onto his garden and given him a new plant to cover the rotting concrete path. The picture of the green plant which has sort of lilac coloured blue pompoms on it has spread to about a yard wide (it is not wild scabious). However, I do think it was a bird dropping and not the angles that planted it there!
