Hello Venus smiley - biggrin,

Thank you for following my thread smiley - ok. Gardens at this time of year take some care and attention. I do a little each day when I feel up to it, and just potter around when I don't.

This is the best time of year to watch plants grow and flourish smiley - smiley. However, my shrubs are in need of a clipping or two! I have managed to sort the top border out in my garden, but keep putting the very bottom bed off as it needs quite a bit of sorting smiley - puff.

How is the arthritis? Mine is very painful some days, and bending down is very awkward smiley - grr.

Take it steady.

Hi Nigel smiley - smiley
The arthritis is still a pain smiley - laugh It has improved a little with the steroid injections, but not as much as i would like smiley - sadface
Everything seems to have grown at once in my garden. smiley - yikes I got behind with the weeding as i was'nt able to do it, so i had a blitz yesterday and things are looking alot like they should. smiley - smiley I did'nt spend long in the garden today, my Dracunculus opened it's flower lastnight, so there is a bit of a nasty whiff out there today smiley - laugh It will be dead by morning, which is a bit of a shame. I did get some really good photos of it though. smiley - magic

I am glad you managed to get some good pictures smiley - ok. I would love to see them smiley - magic.

The steroids helped me a little with the spinal pain, but I am still taking painkillers every day, altering the dose to help. I had the steroids about two years ago through a intravenous drip. This type are supposed to remain in my body for three years, not sure what will happen after that smiley - erm.
