I am oh so familiar with the crunching noise you mention. Mom has had both knees replaced and something tells me it is hereditary! Keep a stiff upper lip! Its amazing how resilient the garden is, and what gets missed this year, well its always there next, right?!? The Clematis is gorgeous.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-13642236136772541682010-11-09T08:56:10.678+00:002010-11-09T08:56:10.678+00:00So sorry about your knee Anna, how frustrating. I ...So sorry about your knee Anna, how frustrating. I feel for you, I'm often prevented from doing the gardening jobs that are beckoning by poor health. Please be careful that the job build-up doesn't make you do more than you should when it starts to feel better...<br /><br />Re leaves, maybe you could follow VP's advice and think of all the insects that are enjoying the blanket of leaves in the meantime? I reckon bulbs can always be planted much later than you ever think, they may not be as vigorous next year, but the year after will reward you. Your parent's clematis looks lovely, I've often wondered about getting a winter flowering clematis, just never worked out where to put it...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-83618502885931278612010-11-09T02:21:53.489+00:002010-11-09T02:21:53.489+00:00I hope that the physiotherapy and exercises help y...I hope that the physiotherapy and exercises help your knee heal soon.

Mine is my back. I hope your knee gets better soon.

This year has surely been an extremely difficult one for you and it is, as you say, so frustrating when one can see what needs to be done but one is just not able to do all that is required.<br /> The Clematis in your parents' garden is most elegant. I think that it is a form of cirrhosa and it does look to be thriving in their care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-79214346884660191862010-11-08T12:35:27.676+00:002010-11-08T12:35:27.676+00:00Hi Anna , I'm so sorry to hear that you have b...Hi Anna , I'm so sorry to hear that you have been in great pain. And glad that it is getting better. I have been out in the garden today to take in all the Geraniums, it is to cold for them in the greenhouse so now they have to stay in the garage until spring. I must say I miss your old header one of the most beautiful I know. <br />Love to hear from you and read your posts.<br /><br />TyraTYRA Hallsénius Lindhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111758517855490413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-53781280355991727732010-11-08T12:15:57.735+00:002010-11-08T12:15:57.735+00:00I'm with VP on the one big sweep up of leaves ...I'm with VP on the one big sweep up of leaves - definately the way to go and some of them I just sweep under trees and shrubs!!<br /><br />Glad to hear that your knee is on the mend.

I found it really depressing to sweep and then find everything all covered again within hours! It's not much bigger in terms of size of the job and at least I have the satisfaction that the job's been done!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-9683350057408883322010-11-08T10:36:10.678+00:002010-11-08T10:36:10.678+00:00Hi Anna,

Thankfully this time of year everything has pretty much stopped.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your knee problems. I have similar, if less painful problems, it feels like a nerve is trapped in the knee and it can range from a twinge to a sharp, short serious pain which takes your breath away.<br />As a result I too have to be careful, too much kneeling, getting up, then kneeling again will cause a warning ache.<br /><br />I love the clematis, very pretty at this time of year - is it evergreen?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-74559133449780048892010-11-08T10:19:41.409+00:002010-11-08T10:19:41.409+00:00Sorry to hear you've been suffering with your ...Sorry to hear you've been suffering with your knee. Let's hope that the exercises do their job. I'm sure you're sitting there worrying over all the jobs which need doing in the garden and at the lottie, but if you don't manage to get round to them this year then they'll still be there next year. Don't cause any more damage to your knee if things will wait. I love how your parent's clematis frames that beautiful statue.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
