Ahh, sorry Becky! I missed World Naked Gardening Day! Sunday was going to be a bit too cool for a make-up day, so here I am on Pajama Gardening Day (the day after WNGD), in fleece PJs and robe. Actually, I'm weeding. After heating water for coffee or tea, I go "water" any weeds creeping up between these pavers by the patio. Today, this weed was nothing but a dry brown leaf that crumbled when I rubbed it with my foot. I have to admit, though, I don't limit PJ Gardening/Weeding to one day a year. It is a very productive way to start off the morning out in the fresh air and birdsong.

Excellent way to weed amongst the slabs! I shall definately give that a go!
I can often be found in my PJs in the garden; we have a few days of long awaited rain forecast though so I think it may be macintosh and galoshes this week!
What a brilliant way to weed! I'm going to try that, I have some weeds lurking by the driveway again so I'll give them the boiling water treatment.
Hi Petunia,
Pyjama gardening is definately safer than naked gardening, just think of the secateurs!!!
Cheers Mark
Is it boiling water that kills them?
Ha! I had never thought of pouring hot water on the weeds in paving. Great idea! Thanks!
I thought you were killing ants
Wonderful photos and May is such a magical month,especially as we have rain!
Thanks for supporting PJ day, everyone! Yes, boiling water will definitely discourage them. The dandelions might come back up but after a while even they give up. If I do it once a week or every 2 weeks, I can keep the walkway weeded and no chemicals on cat or people feet to tracked into the house.
