As you can see, the daffodils are doing
well this year. We have one black sheep daffodil of a different color
for some reason, though. Much work needs to be done in the front
yard, still, despite having had a whole week of dry weather.
In the back yard, the two rose bushes
were sprouting although no buds have formed yet. I have begun to dig
over the veg plots for 2014, and inserted some of the home made
compost. My next task was to prepare the rose area for the erection
of the new arch. I began by potting up the snowdrop, crocus, and mini
daff bulbs into a pot, and 3 more rose cuttings into another.
I then laid out the material and began.
There were, as you can see, several groups of green metal poles as
well as a few left over mini daffs for me to take inside for vase
afterwards. I had to decide whether or not to dig the remainder of
the clump out, or to leave them to one side.
I began to construct the arch, joining
the poles together by screwing midpieces into the side pieces for
each side. It was not too complex and I did not have too many
problems, although the instruction booklet was merely a diagram and
list of 'how many' this and thats I should have.
