the garden path

14 05 2008

One of the reasons for my truant behaviour of late is – of course! – the garden. Not quite the ‘dog ate my homework kind of excuse’ but not a fair one either if you stop to think about why I started this blog. So here is an update on some of my gardening activities of late – actually OUR gardening activities of late because I would still be labouring over these tasks were it not for my beloved…

Start with some cedar from taken from and sawed in the in-laws’ backyard. (Preferably while they are on vacation.)

Next, add some half-baked instructions and a dedicated partnership…

Third, read the FINE PRINT.

Lastly, dig in!
