Because it's impromptu, I have to stop what I'm doing to think about jobs I can give them to do - usually watering at this time of year, usually leading to arguments as I have only 3 watering cans, usually also leading to concern about one of them falling head first into the water butt … and usually curtailing any thoughts I had of getting some proper gardening done! Help is all very well but planning is key!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-27809597216705181282014-07-08T22:22:16.703+01:002014-07-08T22:22:16.703+01:00My ungardener knows he better ask or he might lose...My ungardener knows he better ask or he might lose something :) I await your experiment...should be interesting to see what lives in your tree...Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-91069877643736592302014-07-08T14:26:45.844+01:002014-07-08T14:26:45.844+01:00We'll see - I'l report back in my tree fol...We'll see - I'l report back in my tree following posts.
