Regular Goodgym visit to the Rose garden saw us continuing with weeding , removing unwanted ash growths of various sizes, deadheading some the faded roses and generally tidying up the rose patch under the careful supervision of Andrew. Felt being part of the Enormous Turnip story whilst trying to get out some of the deep and far reaching roots of the ash trees that have been surrounding our beautiful roses. Whilst some of us were running away from rather angry ants since we disturbed them, others were fighting a slug in the glasses :) All in all, a successful missing completed as the sun started to set.

I'll have to come back in spring and see what the mystery bulbs were! 😄
