The last few days the temperatures have risen

So I took the opportunity to plant the roses.

Off I went down the garden to plant R. “Generous Gardener” which is a climber.

I had my well rotted compost, my root grow and I was feeling very smug as we had all-ready put wires on the fence to support the rose.

Skippity, skippity skip I went down the garden -

(You get the picture)

Started to dig a big hole, because as we all know “the better the planting hole, the happier the plant”,

Clunk

My spade hit rock.

(This is when I go off my garden, every planting hole has a large stone underneath it)

Anyway – I got down on hands and knees to dig out around the stone and find out how big it was

It was a bit big – so I had to go and find Shedman, who arrived with iron bars and long bits of wood.

My neighbour peered over the fence and asked if we couldn’t plant the rose elsewhere.

(I pretended that I didn’t hear her)

Sometime later after using goodness knows how many leavers and poles Shedman heaved the rock out of the ground

Personally I think he built the pyramids in a former life.
