* From the original garden post writer - The Curmudgeon.
That old fraud Richard pretended to write a gardening post the other day. Amateur. He hasn't a clue about weed pulling (you'd think he's be good at that - ed), trailer filling, lawn-mowing, tree trimming and laying paving stones. That's why you have The Curmudgeon.
This morning I got up early (6AM) and did a couple of hours of gardening before it got too hot. As it was, by 9.30 I was stuffed.
Today's effort was to pull out the bloody convolvulus that's getting out of hand again. Weeks of very hot but wet weather has meant that the weeds have run riot.

I got rid of a lot of it - not all as it's a tricky pest. It lets you have the impression that you're winning as it's easy to pull out but the devious little bastard has extensive root systems in place and, as soon as you leave it sprouts again. How unfair is that?

I cleared 'a couple of tonnes' of the stuff which will go in the trailer with some tree cuttings. I guess that will be the makings of THE GARDEN SERIES. PART 12 - lucky you.
