We have been working in our garden today. At different times of course. We work in shifts as we cannot work together. When we do we trip over each other and growl a lot. It really isn’t worth the aggravation. It works for us, in fact it is imperative for a happy home. He does it his way, I do it mine and we have long since given up debating the issue. Generally we meet somewhere in the middle. But without fail, when I am finished, he tracks my travels with a broom and a tut.
This is the splendid Salvia curviflora known as the Pink Tehuacan Sage to its friends. Another one of my tender associates which will need some protection when the weather eventually turns to cold. Until that moment I will continue to enjoy its vibrant pink flowers with their pastel viper’s tongues.

We operate in a similar way here, at the days end its always me who clears and washes tools and then hangs them up in alphabetical order.

The thing is, I think I have cleared up! Love the idea of alphabetically arranged tools 🙂

I think it’s the best; I need lots of space around when I work…But isn’t that nice to have someone sweeping after you? :)))
This is a really pink Salvia! I mean, REALLY pink!

In real life it is a little deeper pink, it is a beauty though!

Just the same with Him Indoors. We can’t do any tasks together, it’s just too fraught. He would never sweep up after me, but I’m definitely expected to tidy up after him.

I wish, I had a swiper-upper. I do the garden all by myself, unless I have to call for male strength.

Sometimes I wish I did too, but don’t tell on me!

Can’t think about who does what right now, too busy swooning over another of those gorgeous Mexican salvias – how many more little beauties are there out there?

I know, they are amazing aren’t they! We should start some kind of fan club 🙂

Wonderful idea, we can make a collection of what does really well down here – and a visit to Great Comp next year just to see what does well further east, yes, you have guessed it, another nursery on my list.
