Ron and I are starting to realise how much work having a garden really is! We have never tended a garden before, our small courtyard garden in London had some ivy and three pots which didn’t take much effort. But Ron is persistent and has a green thumb, he even managed to grow two tomatoes in London! We have undertaken quite a few projects in the garden already, one of them being the rose bushes in the front yard pictured below before pruning.
I enlisted the help of our lovely neighbour across the road, Gwen who has pruned these roses for the previous owners before so she knew what she was doing. She chopped the first two and then stood by and watched as I had a go at the second two bushes. This is what they looked like after their haircut!!
