As happy as a dog with one tail

This is why I should wear gloves while gardening.

I finally managed to pop into Zac's this week to check on the plants. Some had died, some were fighting, and some were actually flowering!

I repotted some and brought this poor little thyme plant home with me to look after though I think if it's relying on me it's chances of survival are minimum.

I spotted this plant sign, and other similar ones, and was very tempted to buy some.

But now the news you've been waiting for!

Before

After

I started on 6th June and, hot spell excepted, have been working on this front patch since then. Last weekend GrandSon3 worked on it for me; this weekend GrandSon2 did another two hours. Finally I can say, "It's finished!

And, yes, it does look lovely and was worth the effort. (I can say that now it's finished.)

I'm as happy as Louie is!
