I want a new frock for Baronial Birthday
I want a new tree in my front garden
I want the concrete removed from under my herb garden
Number one- I just about have time if I start now. Historically a full frock project takes about 6 weeks. Although I am out of practice and have not decided what I would do.
Number two- Has to be done in the next few weeks while bare rooted trees are available and while the tree is dormant. I think![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mrsbrown 's idea of an almond is a good one. Where does one buy a bare rooted almond tree? Particularly a short one. Before that I might need to rejig or get rid of the dumb arch that I put in a year ago. This might involve setting posts in concrete and putting up trellis. Perhaps I would get away with just planting the tree under the arch for starters? then dealing with the arch, vine and trellis later.
Number three- Should be done soon, in winter so I can claim the next spring growing season. Big nasty job. Should have done it in the first place two years ago before I set up the herb garden. Too late for that now. If I get this done I will then pay someone to take away the dead concrete and the building rubble from the bathroom and verandah projects
Sigh. Can I do all of these in the next few precious weekends? With a slightly dodgy back? It has been twinging again today after several weeks of good behaviour. I blame all that sitting at my desk after weeks of walking. If I don't get two and three done now I will have to wait until next year. If I don't make a new frock well I won't have a new frock. Hmm. Wonder if I lost enough weight overseas to fit into some of my court garb? None of it is Italian though.
