Plastic blue watering can. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!
The roses near the end of their showing. But a heavenly and heady fragrance still!
A portion of the front garden.

Your job? Enjoy the weekend !

Andy Rodker club has replied to Xata club
No, Isabel. As much as I love gardening (and won prizes for my garden in London!), my brother-in-law is insanely jealous of his garden and won't let me even help him with the watering and so on! That's been Ok when I wasn't physically up to it but I'm now getting twitchy, seeing what could be done here!
Oh well! I shouldn't really complain and he does a fairly good job. But it's such a large garden (gardens in fact) that he should really get some help from me!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend you too!

This garden is amazing, Andy. I can see that your brother-in-law will need extra help to keep all these plants healthy. He's probably concerned that you don't overdo things and get ill again.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
He's more concerned that I might try and steal his thunder, Jenny!
But all that aside, he really does a very good job, but then he's retired and so has the time!
Many thanks, Jenny!

Personally I'd be really pleased if I was forbidden to help out with the gardening! I like the concept but hate the execution................although I do enjoy the sitting down in the sun with a beer part of it :-)))

A beautiful rose patch...........your brother-in-law should be very proud. Oh, and a lovely photo too.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks, Keith!
Well, the point is when I was an active gardener I was also working days and evenings and hardly got the chance to do full justice to it. Now with time on my hands, I can't get involved!

And quite a lot to water Andy, Lovely garden
Have a good week.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Many thanks, Roger! - The rest of the garden including the fruit and veg area does indeed take a massive amount of watering! But it's ecologically sound as the watering is solely from well water and not the mains.

So someone promised you a rose garden - I immediatly thought at this song from Lynn Anderson:

"Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime"!

Andy Rodker club has replied to volker_hmbg club
Thank you, Volker
... but I had to Google the singer and the song as I had never heard of either before! At first I couldn't understand your reference!

HH-volker 2 club has replied to Andy Rodker club
I beg your pardon.... ; )

to be honest, the singer was not known to me also, however someone of my age still remebers the melody that we could hear every day in the radio ( charts)!

Actually I had an upbringing that consisted mainly of classical music until I rebelled and went into Hendrix and so on. Later I learnt to appreciate the best of both worlds but I still can't handle most opera and all C&W music!

Hi Andy
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition to have the very thing most people would remove become the focal point. Interestingly I bought a bright pink watering can yesterday, in the shape of an elephant.. An idea for next time!.

Best Wishes, Happy Monday, and stay safe!!

And I most certainly am looking forward to seeing your newly purchased bright pink elephant-shaped watering can!

Hope you can enjoy them for a while longer.
