Saturday, a day of rest, or not! Kevin and I had a garden plan at his future Air BNB house in Fumel!
First stop – LeClerc Jardin – the Bunnings of the south of France! Weed spray, Grapevine spray (the hot and humid weather has attacked the grapevine with black mold) weed eating the grass etc….and then some sustenance for the workers….bread and cheese, beer, and raspberry tarts!
Then the work began…
The grass before
The grass after!
The grapevine and courtyard before
The Grapevine (minus all the dead leaves and grapes) and courtyard after!
After all the physical cutting and deleafing the vines were all sprayed with anti mold treatment and the courtyard and paths with roundup! We will wait to see the results
A quick bite to eat of baguette and emmentalier (cheese) and a not so cold beer, we did a final clean up, Kevin weedeated the neighbours grass, as it was lowering the tone of our now beautiful garden, gave the plants a drink and I pruned the roses and bleached the bench seat
Around 5.30 pm a well earned unwind with a slightly colder beer before packing up and heading back to our abode.
Showers, a (real) cold beer, chicken and salad, and our somewhat soggy (by now) raspberry tart!
As the sun sets at 9.45 – I have retired to my boudoir for a read and lie flat….I’m sure we will sleep well.
Tomorrow, I will set up my work station for the week, as back on line for the work days.
