Thank you all for your kind words and I am glad to be back behind my wheelbarrow!!.

My new garden is quite a challenge, it has once been a very large tilled garden, but is now just a pile of weeds!! I really like to use my " Garden Claw" as I don't have a regular tiller, and this tool helps me tremendously. The only problem is, when the ground gets too wet, I cannot lift my feet out of the mud as my shoes are almost stuck there. I am gradually adding new plants and shrubs so that next year, I should see a big improvement.

I found a nice new shrub ( to me ) called "Sweetberry Honeysuckle", and also a newer type of PeeGee Hydrangea with longer blooming time.

I have set up my arbors with climbing roses, and clematis so I am looking forward to seeing them grow.

It is just too bad that I have to wait through a long winter, until I can see how all the plants have survived. Oh well!, maybe I will just hibernate in my bed with a good lot of books and watch the snow
fall outside my window.!!!
Cheers' Mrs G

It certainly sounds as though you have your hands full with your new garden. Good to know that the arbors are up though and that you've started to buy some new plants. Let's hope the winter isn't too severe and that everything makes it through OK.
How are the dogs and cats enjoying their new home?

A new garden is always a challenge, I have been here 7 years and it is still a big challenge, especially with the heat and humidity we are now having. The weeds love it. I also have a garden claw and I love mine. It is very handy for weeing and cultivating.
