Grapevine Arch Down again !

 

                     Oh no !

It's fallen down again .....sigh .....

I spent two hours digging these holes deeper than before , but the frame refused to drop into position and I haven't a clue how to make cement or concrete or whatever and even if I did the frame is about twenty years old now and very rickety .So actually it would be stupid to concrete it in for it just to rot away and crumble . 

We need a new frame and I think a much larger kind of a frame ,like four posts and half posts along the top . Husband wants another arch the same as before , but the vine is huge now and really heavy when in full growth .  It was very heavy while not in full growth . 

So I have untangled all of the branches off the frame .

And cut it up for kindling .

I have left a good amount of the vine and now I will have to leave it  . Until he decides .

 It will begin growing again soon .  I will have to tie it in along the fence .

I am thinking of planting my other Monkey Puzzle Tree there instead . It would look fabulous in that corner .

Back to the woodchip pile .

 So I shovelled three wheelbarrow loads and spread it around the birdbath bed to smarten it up a bit . 

The little daffodils are going to be lovely .I was feeling so upset about my grapevine .....

.....but the Snowdrops cheered me up and I found a couple of Agave off -shoots in amongst them .

I pulled them out and quickly potted them up . 

I had a quick tidy up to finish off , I'm trying to get rid of any plastic rubbish or general junk that is lying around . 

This old lawn mower for example , just waiting for someone to trip over it . Time for it to be gone !

That's all for today , I can't do anymore . Exhausted ! I managed to hang out the washing , but now it's time for a flop !
