In for the Chop...

Today @dide was able to visit after the Auckland area has been in level three lockdown.. Even though I only live 10 k's away our area was level two.. Dianne picked up my groceries and then volunteered to do the hibiscus trimming to save FG having to do it .. she made a very good job of it but will be no flowers for a while .. you can see yesterday's bloom that was soon to be loped off...

So green and lush. Glad you have a lovely view and that you had help... even though it will be awhile for more blooms.

[Diana]

So beautiful and lush!

Kind lady

I like this action shot and the green of your paddocks is beautiful.

[Wylie]

Oh wicked pruning. Well done!

[Kathy A]

Such lovely greens, very lush

[Babs]

Ha ha so you didn't trust farmer George to do the job. Dianne looks as though she is tackling it well

[Denise Wood]

Everything looks so green :)

[Dianne]

@onewing I needed close supervision - my gardening skills aren’t that flash!!!

[Lou Ann]

I love this photo of your garden, and the wonderful view you have. So glad Dianne could come see you, she’s a fine pruner! Here we baby and nurse our hibiscus plants in pots to get flowers to bloom. It looks like where you live they are big and robust and beautiful, in the ground!

[Dianne]

@louannwarren I was glad to catch up with Julz. Phone calls are not the same as a good old face to face chinwag.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A friend in need is a friend indeed !! Such a lovely sight of Dianne giving that helping hand and I am sure you two put the world to right while together !!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful capture

@onewing when Dianne volunteered I snapped at the chance.. thought it could be safer. @beryl certainly is .. was nice to catch up again..

[carol white]

Great to have a helping hand in the garden

[Pat Knowles]

Good fir Dianne, she’s a trouper! You will have missed each other’s & FG so relieved to have a job less at this busy time in the farming year. I love your garden...great view!

[julia]

@happypat thanks Pat.. certsinly nice to get these jobs done.. had great support from friends helping me in the garden to keep it tidy..

[julia]

@louannwarren so pleased I have a view to look out at.. would hate to just have houses right next door..

[Lois]

Beautiful hibiscus!

[Marnie]

You live in a lovely spot, always something to look at out there. What a great thing to have @dide close by too, all my family live a long way away.
