Ewww, Philip, cancer is nasty stuff! Hope she comes through it ok.
That was really nice of you to take care of her garden for her.
I did a fair amount of weeding my jungle on Sunday; managed to unearth a couple of buried Clematis that I wasn't sure were even still there! Got a helper coming tomorrow to work on the rest, so I'm both ahead of schedule and behind schedule. Appropriate, since lately I'm not sure if I'm coming or going!
