Sempervivum tidied
One of the few gardening tasks I'm still able to do is to tidy up the sempervivum. it is a lovely job and very satisfactory. I sit with a pot on my lap, my reading glasses on and a pair of tweezers to pull off the lower dead leaves and take out bits of moss, and seedlings of violas and ergerion. It's a whole wonderful mico garden with tiny beetles I can't identify and many minute baby woodlice, who rush about and then find safely again in dark hidden places.
The pots are standing on tables made of chimney pots. There are several more of these in the garden. They work wonderfully well next to the bench for glasses of wine and cups of coffee - and small treasures. The paving stones are just fake Yorkshire stone bought years ago from a garden centre. They have aged well and hardly look like concrete.
