Moving Swiftly on !

 

Moving swiftly onwards !   My seeds have arrived !  

I got the propagator out , switched on . and after letting the compost and that water squisher warm up overnight , yesterday morning I sowed my Sweet Pepper seeds .

I have to really pace myself this year , after serious back injury . I am having physio and doing the exercises . 

Today the grass is very damp but I managed to do the first cut of the year to the pathways of the labyrinth . I had to keep stopping and starting to clear the grass clippings from the blades with a stick . 

                                Before 

A combination of my really painful back and of having non stop rain has prevented me from cutting the grass . 

I did think that I might have to let the labyrinth go , it was beginning to get lost in the long grass and I knew it was going to be difficult to cut .

                           After        click twice to view

It still looks a bit rough , but in a couple of days I will cut the pathways again on a lower setting and it'll soon look smart again !

      (note - Jess's Giant Echium is still standing ! O.K slightly leaning now maybe !🤣)

I was so pleased with myself that I then made a start weeding the African Keyhole Bed .

It is easier to weed after the rain , I just can't bend down that easily at the moment , so used the rake and throw it into the wheelbarrow method . Rake and throw ! Rake and throw ! Rake and throw !

I was then ordered to stop , go in doors , poke the fire in the woodburning stove and make a cup of tea .

                Feeling pleased with myself to have restored the labyrinth a little .

                         So that's all fer now !
