Garden clean-up time.
Thursday, October 23, 2008 @ 10:59 AM
Well after a long season of rentals the tourists have almost all gone back home and now it's time to take a look at the jungles that have developed where gardens used to be before the villa owners start to arrive back here over the coming weeks. Yesterday we got stuck into the first one, four hours of weeding, dead-heading the
Strelitzias (those things are real ugly once they die back), pruning the olive trees and palms etc. The strong winds were no help, lots of cuttings finding their way into the pool, never mind I can charge for cleaning that when I've finished ;-). Today I'll be back there again trimming the hedges etc as these owners arrive on Friday and then it's off to Sant Feliu to plan out the weekends removal for which we have had an extra person dumped on us to help which we neither want or need, but there you go. Orders!! Looks like the days where the people doing the removal are the ones in charge are numbered. The weekend after there's another garden to get started on, that one on a mountainside, oh what joy!!
