I’m knacked. The rain has stopped – for now and the ground, while still a tad squishy underfoot in some places is for the most part dry. So I’ve been out there making the most of it all . I’ve been mowing grass that was probably a tad too long for the mower, but we pushed through – me and my trusty little mower. I’ve … Continue reading Ten Photo Tuesday
We had a lovely break in the weather yesterday, and I woke up to a blue sky day. Anything else on the to do list got cast aside and I headed out into the garden for a day of indulging my pleasure. It was such a wonderful day and what spring should actually feel like. The first task was not really ideal – but I … Continue reading Mowing the Mud
I have been liberated from my keyboard, which is just as well because I think I’ve worn it out. You can almost see straight through the spacebar to the workings underneath! But my super secret project has been delivered – all 50,000 words, and a few thousand extra for good measure and loads of great photos and now I can turn my attentions to my … Continue reading Back into the garden
In the last 30 days we have had 26 days of rain and of those 14 had over 5mm. To be completely honest with you I did round up two days from 4.8 to the nearest whole number. One day even had a whopping 50mm. All in all we had 206.6mm of rain in the 30 days I decided to do my 30 beds in … Continue reading Rain delays play
Only it took many more than one pass with the mower to make the garden look remotely manageable again. It took four tankful’s of petrol, a cold cuppa tea, a large cold drink of water and an ice block and I honestly feel like I have walked a country mile – if not two or three! But I did it – I dragged the mower … Continue reading And order was restored in one fell swoop
I was mooching about the place wondering what to do when Hubby the Un-Gardener came in and said he could ‘make my day’ and handed me a package that looked a lot like my bolts. Yay. I love internet shopping. You just click on what you want, pay for it and it turns up and all without you missing a beat in the garden. No … Continue reading My bolts arrived – Hooray!!!
It was the most amazing day, blue skies that went forever, not a puff of wind and was even a little warm when you weren’t in the shade. But I had to do my inside book keeping thingy. The kids were making a good job of being free range and feral and making a bit of a mess and so the morning passed quickly. Come … Continue reading You’ll have to take my word for it.
Now I am beginning to question my own credibility. If I went to the trouble to write a list and put everything in order of importance and urgency, then why am I just picking the easy things to do? So far I should have made turnip soup – which I haven’t… yet. I have completed number 2 by finishing off the new bed and it … Continue reading I wonder…..
So far so good – my crazy scheme seems to be working – I have been out in the garden so I would have something to write about, but in all honesty I would have been out there anyway. Wild horses wouldn’t keep me away, especially as it wasn’t raining and it wasn’t all that cold. Often when I look at my garden and feel … Continue reading I mowed a swamp
