Got the garden cleared out yesterday. It took 4 trips to the dump in a large cargo van we rented but all the large debris is gone. As a result we are both worn out, scratched and have tickly throats. We got all the leaves up and cleared out rubbish that was laying around. We both worked so hard yesterday. Today all that is left is to mow the lawns, fix up the pergola, put down 20 bags of mulch and tidy up the bushes down the side of the house by the road. Then we can arrange the pots and garden furniture and the garden will be presentable. Then we can put the house on the market and make sure we can get a house we want where we want to move to.
I'm a little fuzzy headed today after yesterday, I'm not cracked up to lots of manual labour. Still the stuff today is much easier that what we did, the only heavy lifting will be the bags of mulch. We do have a wheelbarrow to help with that but we discovered yesterday it has a flat tyre so nothing heavy can go in that.
All this since gardeners are slackers, we've not heard back from either of the ones we had around and they seem to be ignoring us. Afraid of a bit of hard work it seems even though that is what they get paid for. So much for that. You wonder how they stay in business sometimes.
