Shovelling dirt

[cybermule]

Finished my first proper paid garden makeover today. I carried about 3/4 tonne of gravel into the garden, so it's fair to assume I must have also carried about the same weight of soil out. Paid workouts. It looked really nice at the end of it, though.

I've been gardening for two days solid. I think I went slightly nuts in the process.

Just a few more things to do before bed. Then a stupidly early start. In that other work thing that I do.

So when do we get to see pictures?

[ninneviane.livejournal.com]

The client stipulated no plants, so they're not that great.

I forgot to take any, but the guy's sending some on. I was jsut too relieved to get out of there.

How wonderful...go you! **yay**

I'd love to have a garden again...I keep eyeing up jo_kat's and am hoping she'll let me do some moderate pruning and what not :D

Babe, anytime you want to come round and do anything to my sad sorry-looking excuse for a garden you really are more than welcome... you know how much I hate gardening!! I'd even feed you and everything! :D

[ninneviane.livejournal.com]

**yay**
Thanks MB! We might just have to pencil a day in, so long as it's not pissing down I'm happy to garden rain or shine. Maybe if I did it on a Saturday, we could finish off with a boogie later on? I can definitely feel a girls night coming on ;)

Count me in too - I'm great at the lifting heavy stuff. Or at least, I am now...

[jo-kat.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks chick, that would be super! :)

I'm sure between the three of us we could get my poor neglected jungle in some sort of shape! Though I warn you in advance, I'm exceptionally clueless at all things garden-related and seem to have the opposite of green fingers... :/

I was going to say I had brown fingers but thought better of it... ;)

[ninneviane.livejournal.com]

**is giggling**

Brown fingers! :D

Oooh yes... gardening and a girl's night - it's a plan!!! :D

We'll definitely have to get some dates together this weekend, as it looks like I've got quite a few weekends free between now and August. :)

Woohoo - jo_kat's holding a garden party!

[jo-kat.livejournal.com]

Aha!! I see you've spotted my tactics already!

Traditionally when anyone has offered to do something to my garden I've tried to make up for my ineptitude by getting busy in the kitchen.

Growing things is definitely not my forte but cooking and eating them most certainly is!.. ;)

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

All sounds like a plan - let me know if you two come up with a date :)

[ninneviane.livejournal.com]

We need to work on this date...we do Garden, Jo does food, we all drink stella and eat the food in lovely garden! Perfect! :D

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. I'm free most of August and September, so it's down to you two to find some suitable dates :)

Woohoo!! Working all day and seeing something pretty at the end of it AND getting paid for it - why am I not still landscaping??? (perhaps the 3/4 ton of gravel has something to do with it...)
Grat on your first gig!!

Cheers, babe - got some much needed holiday $ too!
