Multi purpose vehicle
No wonder it’s called the wheelbarrow. I put the car to good use early this evening. I had spent a few good hours chipping all the branches I had stockpiled in the parking area. They are going onto the shade garden area and I’m short of sticks.
So I needed to collect more branches. They are way down on the lower terraces near the vineyard. So I decided to cheat by bringing the car down the road and filling the boot with booty.
Well, it’s a station wagon, it’s all boot. Especially as I removed all the seats first.
I had to wait until the evening before I plodded down as it was so warm again today. So a bit of stick dragging when the temperature relented a bit was perfect. And I want to have some ready for chipping tomorrow.
Naturally I’ll be strimming first thing. I have the rest of the top terrace to do first up. And then once the sun leaves this part of the garden I can haul out the chipper and keep on making mulch.
And here is a shot of the asters looking fetching in the lilac bed. The sedum Autumn Joy are just about to flower, but actually I prefer their green state. The pink can look so pale and washed out by the time they actually colour up.
