Back in the garden for a check up, Suflowers still blooming as is our garden spider.🕸🕷

I made the effort today to venture into my garden, I have neglected it over the last few weeks with hubby being in hospital and being well myself, something had to give and unfortunately it happened to be my garden. I am so glad i made the decision to sort my garden out early for the Winter, with having so much rain over the Summer i didn't get the garden i wanted as the rain spoiled just about everything so i made the big decision to start clearing my garden and get it ready for the cold weather. I dread to think how it would look now if i hadn't.

I was very surprised to find i could still get into the garden, i was expecting cobwebs everywhere plus a mess around the pots where i haven't been able to cut back, fruit plants seem to have a will of there own.

There isn't to much work to do, i do have to wrap Groot, the 1st tree on the right, I wrap his trunk in Frost wrap, it help keeps him war over the cold weather, I then cover the bases of most of my plants with Hanging basket liner, this helps the soil not get to wet and keeps some warmth in. I did it last year with a good success rate.

I have Sunflowers growing, i am trying to catch the heads before die as i want to try and save the seeds for next year, i was surprised to find they are still blooming, I found a few new Sunflower heads opening, they made me smile.

The last time i was out there there was a massive web from the right hand side stretched over to the white table. I wasn't expecting him to still be there, He seems to have made a home and a good supply of food by the size of him, he has definitely grown, must be a nice supply of bugs or maybe its a she and its pregnant, Ewww i may never go out there again.

I am feeling a bit better, the swelling around my face and gums has gone down and i have a little more energy today, Looks like the 2 Antibiotics are doing there job chasing the nasties away. Once i get this tooth out on the 1st of November i will be able to relax and get myself a bit more motivated. I then have an appointment on the to get a mouth guard made, when i get anxious and worried i bite down on my teeth, never realised how bad i did it, the last few days have been an eye opener, hopefully that should help my teeth and the way i feel.


Thank you @son-of-satire
