    Picked a bad day to try demolishing the garden. Am both burnt and boiled. Probably broken tomorrow also.

      Ditto. No choice unfortunately as I have guests over this weekend. Am currently impersonating a boiled lobster. Cool salted bath and lots of aloe vera coming up. And one of them (erk) is a precision gardener - you know the kind. Their lawns are edged and weed free, the garden beds are all color coordinated and all their pot plants are in matching pots.

          I fear so. There’s something so, so wrong about buying more than 5 identical pots - and putting them in a row. I admire their tenacity and devotion to style, but question their understanding of microclimates.

        Yeah timing due to green bin day. Can’t skip one with this much to go. Hate lawn! When I finally buy any such will be first to get the rip.

      Gardening is on my list of things to do today… might have to rethink that. Hope you’ve found somewhere cool now

        Sunscreen! The glare is deceptive. I’ve a nice iced drink and will have another go late arvo.
