Bertie's Gardening Tips

Hi

I'm back again with some gardening tips this week.

Don't let your Clematis grow too much, make sure you chew it back quite severely and above all pull out the roots. That way you can be sure it will not grow and you will never have to do the job again.

If you are required to put boxes in the attic, make sure you give the impression that you can only put your front paws on the third step, that way you won't be expected to get up there and help.





This is me pruning the Clematis, I also dug a hole (but try not to get caught doing this or you may be in trouble) and inspected the conifers.






Dad suggested putting my toy box in the attic, I managed to run away with it but I got a bit excited and chewed it up! Phew! it seems a long way up there.






I made a bit of a mess with it!

Oh well, Mam, can you bring me a new box home from Graphicus! for my toys.

Gardening looks like a lot of fun, Bertie! We like to look after our mum's houseplants in the same kind of way, although she doesn't seem to appreciate it.
Hope you get a nice new toy box soon - whoops!

Hi there Bertie, well done with the pruning! Don't forget any hanging baskets your Mum puts up in the spring... you will need to take a flying leap at them but it's such good fun swinging on them until they come down... whayhay! Diggin holes is good too, such fun. I got a nice big toy box (one that I can't destroy) in fact, I do have a bit of trouble getting into it at times, I'll put a pic on my Mum's blog for you to see. Hope you get a nice 'big' new one soon. The bigger they are, the more toys you get to go in them!

Hi Bertie!

Pleased to see you've got the hang of gardening. I tend to 'prune' Mams houseplants. I've destroyed a few and threw up a few times. Boy did I get wrong!!

Neither of us play with toys very much anymore as we're both a little old for them! OK Martha I'll tell him. Martha wants you to know she plays with some chopsticks Mam got in some sushi and she makes such a racket when she does it too. I prefer peace and quiet, in a box if Mam leaves one out for me!

Lots of Love

Tara (and Martha)
