3 GG Yorkies ran to help Mr R tidy his veg patch. His garden was well looked after, but he has been struggling to keep on top of the veg and it was all a bit overgrown.

Carl started by using the strimmer to try and reduce the volume pf greenery, but kept having to stop as the cord kept snapping. He then got to work cutting back brambles and turning over huge lumps of soil.

Egg & I concentrated on pulling up weeds and overgrown potato plants, digging out extensive root networks. It wasn't long before a green bin was overflowing.

Today is my birthday, and Mr R was very generous with his birthday wishes. We have told him we will be back to finish off the last bits of the veg patch and to tidy his flowerbeds too.
