  • Week 217 – May 11th – First cut of the lawn 2024

    Due to the weather we have had this year, this afternoon was the first time that I cut the lawn.

    It was surprising how dry the lawn was considering the amount of rain we have this year.

    The most disappointing thing, was how the lawn was looking after all the work I did previously. One part just feels like it’s full of weeds. Not happy at all.

  • Week 213 – Apr 14th – New plants

    With the weather finally being decent, we went and got some new plants for the garden.

    As you can see the lawn is pretty high due to the amount of rain we have had. When will it stop?

  • Week 206 – Feb 25th – New plant

    Today we had a chance to clean up the garden a bit as the weather was reasonable.

    Claire had pointed this plant out before, but strangely, we only saw it at one garden centre.

    It’s called a Caprea Kilmarnock. We look forward to it blooming in the garden this year.
