Making an entrance

We decided the rose over the front door needed a prune, as we were having trouble opening the shutters on the first floor windows. Pruning the rose soon turned into cutting back some of the lavender. That in turn led to tidying the stone edges around the beds. We then felt we should see how the urns we’d bought some time ago would fit into place. Oh, and then we thought we’d better plant out two rose bushes that needed a permanent home. All in all quite a days work, but I loved how it looked when we had done.

When we were finished we took the clippings to the décheterie, and stopped en route at the garden centre, as our Buis (box bushes) were being eaten by a butterfly, and we needed to sort them out…. will let you know more on how that goes over the coming weeks…
