OUTDOORS 9


Here we see what happened to that collapsing - now collapsed - rose arch in the back yard after a 'wet n windy' stormy night on the third weekend of November. Plans had been to dismantle it when dry and time permitted - but due to the total collapse, emergency rose-saving eventuated directly.


You can see how the two rose bushes are now severely pruned back. Once dry weather and time coincide, I will clear the garbage - aka weeds and former arch frame - and then tie the roses - one to the house and one to the palm tree - or so was the plan.

The sack of brown paper shown in the front of the bags of carpet was taken down the plot between showers of rain and hail at the start of the fourth week in the month. The three large rolled up pieces have been deposited into the compost bin on top of the artichoke plant remnants and underneath a pile of horse muck.

In fact, my original intention was just to pop the paper and some veggie scraps/coffee grounds into the compost tub and grab a leek - but on sighting an almost full and barely touched pile in the horse muck area, I grabbed my bucket and spade and snatched a dozen loads.

Oh look - where have the rose bushes gone? Find out in my next outdoor post!
