This I gotta share
!!
Today
The new
Men came to mow the lawns. "New" because we had a lot of trouble with the previous firm (which was also sort of new) so we contracted with this firm for this year.
Aaaannyway,
They turned up this morning - beautiful, sunny day - and began to mow (there's a song in there somewhere). After finishing my usual household chores: bracken bedding annual renewal, fresh herbs biennial strewing, daily HB brewing - I looked outside and was instantly astonished
.
Little geographical explanation required here - my cave is right at the end and down the extreme western boundary is a strip of soil only about 6 - 8 ins wide next to the lawn which has never been dug or attended to in any way (the soil is too hard) and it's a long border reaching from the pavement right down to the rowan tree.
One of the team of two was busily wielding a garden fork to turn over and bash the divots of said border
.
Some time ago in a rash, wishful moment I bought 4 packets of wild flower seeds which would have to have been cast onto undug ground but now I can sow all 4 pkts right along this border and enjoy the sight, hopefully.
And so can the bees and insects
. Day made ........
Brilliant, Placi
