Jennie saw a deer jump lightly over the yellow gate early one morning. I guess it owns the place as much as I do...
Today's list under my four headings for garden work -
An Ongoing Job - weeding the lawn which is again and at last beginning to be worthy of the name after some very intensive care!
A Start and Finish Job - tidying the edges of the cutting patch and consolidating the ground (trampling it) ready for some better-late-than-never seed sowing - gypsophila, poppies, cornflowers, night scented stock, marigolds, nasturtiums....after a couple of disappointing seasons I am giving it one last shot...
A Job I Want To Do - I think I will plant up a hanging basket just with trailing lobelia. I've seen it looking very pretty and have been meaning to try it for years.
A Rescue Job - there are always things to be rescued here! Today I think it will be the space at the back of the shed. Having emptied the compost bins onto the cutting patch, it's pretty messy back there.
Meanwhile there are some pretty bits and pieces - some planned some just happen - like the self sown things on the greenhouse floor...
