It felt like the warmest day of the year so far here in London. Beautiful, bright sunshine all day so I spent the day hard at work. The soil was just a little damp, but perfect for weeding. The greenhouse was hot and bright and my little seedlings are romping away.
But Matron has a new garden helper...
Every time I turned my back he was helping... tidy up the bamboo sticks,
cutting them into smaller lengths...
Sorting out the flower pots...
cutting them down to size..
and just lazing around being cute. Actually, for the rest of the afternoon Leo brought most of his toys out of the house and down the end of the garden, then he fell asleep on the lawn in the sunshine. A perfect garden helper!

What a great way to spend an afternoon - that's both of you!
ReplyDeleteLucky Leo - I wonder what he's thinking?

What a sweetheart! Leo you're so cute and what a good helper for Matron!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetheart! He looks like he has such a gentle spirit. I'm glad that you two found each other.
ReplyDeleteMy cockers like to help by eating my strawberries and tomatoes. They also turn the compost for me and try to remove any 'good stuff' that they think should not have been thrown out. One even finds the loose pickets in the fence and knocks them out for me. How helpful...
Hi matron, it looks like Leo is settling in to his new surroundings and enjoying himself!
ReplyDeleteHi Matron, I can see that Leo is well on the way to becoming a fully qualified head gardener.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar helper, different colour but same ethic!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine a more perfect garden helper! Wish I had one as well. Take care...
ReplyDeleteI love Leo - give him a tickle and a biccie from me; 'Good Boy!'. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous garden helper! I've got a couple of two-legged versions - the end product is quite similar! Thankyou for visiting my blog :-) Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
ReplyDeleteHis helping isn't as destructive as when the chickens decide to help you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day here too. Leo looks to have settled in well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie Leo is. I've got a garden helper that deadheads for me, it's just a shame that the flowers are at their peak when he decides to do it.
ReplyDeleteAwwww I'm amazed you resisted the urge to just play with him and forget the gardening... ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks as though Leo has settled in well and knows his place in the scheme of things.
ReplyDeleteYour pics of Leo really made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when our dogs are in the garden chilling out it just shows our relaxed they are.
Percy pug our 1 month old puppy had just discovered all my plant pots in the greenhouse!
Happy gardening
Jane
Oh so sweet, wishing you both many happy gardening years together
ReplyDeleteOops should read 10 months!
ReplyDeleteLeo looks like such a gentle soul, lucky man that he will spend his vintage years with you. Every gardener should have such an assistant.
ReplyDeleteI so miss my old chap, he used to "help" with sticks, and gardening gloves, and dirty stagnant water in the bottom of a bucket ...
Perhaps one day my "Management" will agree to us giving a home to a senior citizen, cross my fingers ....
Garden and enjoy all these lovely moments at the same time:)
ReplyDeleteMatron, he's so gorgeous and such a good helper :) YAY :)
