The hedge done today –
Sparrows gorge those still sleeping ~
A confused garden.

The hedge done today –
Sparrows gorge those still sleeping ~
A confused garden.
Garden pottering –
Pull endless ivy, briars ~
Know they’ll outlast me.
Fleecing my tree fern –
Touch of frost in the night air ~
Let battle commence.
Evenings darken –
Time for gardening reduced ~
Might buy some flood lights.
Garden center trip –
Little frog catches my eye ~
He leaps home with me.
Big gardening day –
Pittosporum chopped right down ~
Blinding autumn light.
Autumn gardening –
Finish potting alliums ~
Robin stalks for me.
Annual hedge cut –
Riddled with bloody briars ~
But blackberries too.
Delayed garden job –
Bag tulip bulbs for storage ~
Half now lost to mould.
Japanese Bindweed –
Swallowing the hedge slowly ~
Nice flower though.
