Yesterday we had wall to wall sunshine and the ground was drying out rapidly. By late morning the front grass was still a little damp but the rear was fine for strimming. With my back in good fettle I strimmed the borders and the old wild flower patch where my containers and pots now reside. The job went well and after a break for a coffee and a pipe I strimmed the small side. Great job done and warm enough to work in a sports shirt and jeans.
This morning with my back still in a good mood I started early and had the front garden mowed,strimmed and the tools cleaned and stowed by twenty to ten. I had to make it a morning job because we are promised rain from around three lasting for a couple of days.
My little patch of green won't make the cover of Home and Gardens but the front is tidy and the rear is very creature friendly with little nooks and hiding places scattered around. I hope to attract the bees and butterflies back with the flowers in my pots and containers,there are twenty one of them out there so hopefully I should get some show. The Buddleia is very green and showing plenty of new growth which should help.
The weather is starting to close in,the sun has gone and it is getting cooler,looks like a couple of days cabined up but at least I am on top of the garden,for now anyway.
