Whoa Nellie!!! You got 40 plants done in two hours and I it took me SIX hours to get 40 plants done today. AND, you got other things done in that two hours too. I'd say speed gardening for sure. I can't move that fast I have to take short breathing breaks every time I walk up and down the slope from one end of the garden to the other, especially like today when the plants were going in different garden areas. Faff around??? Moi??? Hah, daydreaming, admiring passing butterflies, sniffing roses, how else can gardening be done

Anyway, you do a phenomenal job as a one woman show. Your gardens are extensive and you really do achieve an unbelievable amount of things, so much more than anyone else I know

Thanks for the ego boost! I stand in awe of your gardens. I think I'm such a long way from what I envision. And as for "speed gardening" everybody has to go at their own speed. And it is important, as Monty likes to remind us from time to time, to take time to just enjoy the garden. But every once in a while, missy, I need to light a fire under the old mule's tail

I want to check out that Gardener's World episode that had the estate you mentioned in this blog. Do you by chance happen to remember what season and episode number it was?
