Watty's Awakening

Galvanised planters are very on-trend Watty As well as practical. Old water troughs/tin baths/water tanks etc also sell for a small fortune!

I know!  I found my planters in PPH dad's shed when I cleared there and bought them back thinking they might be useful as WattyDog had broken so many pottery tubs and I needed something for my Hostas.   They are just old buckets but I was astounded when I saw how much they sold for in trendy areas.

i had hoped VNM mum's shed would yield a couple of galvanised buckets but no.  When the garden is done, if I need more planters on the patio I might look for some more - but - I need to get the tap fixed so I can manage watering.   Finding a plumber needs to go on the list.

Worked late into yesterday evening.  Did some work on accounts (all looking good and by Monday evening I should hit my optimistic turnover for the year for the company with the rest of June and July to go. Yay!  Hard work is paying off.  (business and financial goal progress).

Then finished the bonus session that some people on the course wanted. I'm going to add this into future courses but might also offer it as a stand alone free of charge a couple of times as year as I was really pleased with it when I finished and it will hopefully boost sates.   I checked the VNM t understood some of the more complex points and now just need my PA to draw the diagrams I have sent her so I can drop those in.  I have no idea how to create pictures to use on slides and it is better to pay her than struggle myself. I realise all my past struggles to try and do things when PPH was around just hammered my confidence.  Better to outsource and love the end result. 

I might have worked until 10 pm but so worthwhile to have a finished product that will help with financial goals.

What an awesome post 😊❤️ I am ‘hearing’ FLOW in your words and descriptions 😊

Good idea to delegate the picture bits to PA - why not 😊🤷‍♀️

Thank you KK. It feels like that.    Whilst out on CC this morning I had an idea.   I’m to clean and weed the borders as part of project garden. So it doesn’t seem overwhelming I decided to mark out one metre square with electric fence posts.    So first metre done.   Was quite easy and I found a lovely plant to fill the cleared space (well it needs to grow a bit but it will be lovely) 

The patio tubs have all been replanted.  The overcrowded hostas all divided weeded and repotted    They look fabulous.   Will leave them on the stable yard for now as they will be easy to water there.

VNM put in the last of the lights and they look great.

we've been doing a bit in our garden the last week or so.  Sat looking at it late afternoon with a cuppa and felt quite pleased with how its all turning out.  Glad you are too

Great way of "chunking" the work and appreciating the progress you are making.

Lovely to read about your re-found enthusiasm for the garden.  Splitting it into blocks makes a lot of sense.

I also measured out 1m² too when doing beds here. I found it made sense to divvy it up so I didn't feel overwhelmed and just give up entirely (which I'm prone to doing in overwhelm lol).

£238.90 into my bank this morning from UK power network.   Phew!   What a palaver to get paid.  I’m sure most people would just give up.

Will send to ISA.

That's fantastic. Your perseverance will thank you every time this happens in future!
