Garden Day 2

I think I like gardening so much because it panders to my obsessive compulsive tendencies. The act of picking out all the weeds from the cracks in the pavement is amazingly satisfying... although this may be a great way to cure me of my OCD when the weeds grow back!

It's a good way to meet all the neighbours who all came over to have a nosey. Apparently there were roses in the bed on the left and I found all of the old root systems still there....

...so I had to dig it out.... that only took 2 hours... but it was better than going to the gym.

Looking better already?

I think so...

Only 6 bags of basically weeds and overgrown ivy. I imagine there will be many more before I have finished. The other good thing about gardening is that it is a great excuse to spend money in B&Q, one of my favourite shops! Plenty of bulbs to plant so maybe I'll blog that next week!
