Grabbing the Chance

Make hay whilst the sun shines they say, so whilst it was forecast to stay dry and actually did stay dry we took the opportunity to spend a couple of evenings in the garden.

It didn’t take too long to make a huge improvement to their appearance. We just needed to clip the hedges, mow the lawn and pull a few weeds from the borders and footpath. The recent rain and warm temperatures had left the gardens looking very lush and green but had also made them grow like crazy. The fruit trees are all full of fruit but are again ready for a good prune, maybe we will wait until they have cropped though before we cut them back though. It looks like we have lots of baking to do to use up a bumper crop of cooking apples and blackberries.


It is a shame we don’t get to spend much time in the gardens anymore because it has taken seven years but all of the plants we have planted over the last seven years have started to mature and the gardens look the best they have done since we moved in. What we need is more decent weather during the evenings we are at home.
