Hello or Hello again (or rebonjour as they say in these parts)
I�m embarrassed to see that I haven�t posted since 2017 although I have popped in for a read at least twice since then
. Life has just rather got in the way - in particular our fledgling garden maintenance business took off, meaning Mr PP had to buy loads of extra power tools 
. But it has been nice to work in other gardens and see what other folks do.
So, the plot in the Pyrenees still develops; yesterday we ordered a terrifying 20 field maples to be traditionally pollarded (by me
) along the line of our drive. And after a decade here that will be the very last bit of landscaping in what was once a poor & brambly pasture. The majority of the garden is really a meadow and orchard, a potager close to the house feeds us, there�s one posh ornamental bit (still a work in progress, but it will be finished this year!) and then loads of wild areas for the beasties. Although I wish the deer and boar would stay in the forest next door.
I'll try and contribute once again, although with sowing a shed-load of chillies topping the to-do list for next week, and those trees to plant, perhaps not! Looking forward to reading all your lovely, informative and silly posts once again

While it is nice to garden in shorts in early Feb, 24 degrees is a huge worry.
