Clearing up

Well, the garden looks a bit cleaner now - I got rid of all the old dustbins, plastic pots and containers and other rubbish which had accumulated next to the garage. Took them all down the dump, so the plants growing underneath can now get some sunlight.

Plus, more grass off the flower beds - there's still  plenty there, but it's starting to look a bit better  -the daffodils in particular are standing out more now they haven't got the competition.

Some spraying done

Well, I did some pesticide spraying yesterday - looks like I did it just in time, it's starting to rain. I need to try to get rid of the goose grass and brambles. The latter's not too bad right now - I hit it pretty hard last year, and it's not yet recovered, so if I keep on top of it, I might be able to stop it coming back. The goose grass, however, is going to need constant work - that stuff is pernicious as heck.

Still, the daffodils are out, and a few other flowers are starting to push through. I'm still removing grass from the flowerbeds, and there's a pile of cut branches need disposing of, but they're not a priority right now.

Still raking moss

Now much of an ad here, I have to say. I've been over the lawns again, raking up the dead moss I missed last time, or that has died since then. There's less and less coming up, so hopefully I'll get it all soon, and I can start getting ready to reseed.

Anyway, I will as usual update the next time I do something, so keep 'em peeled!

Tidying up

Not a vast amount to tell - just some odds-and-ends tidying up around the garden, removing dead plants from the snow we had over Christmas time, and digging up grass that had become seeded in the flower beds. The goose grass hasn't come back yet - a bonus - so things are looking a little better, but there's still a lot to do, preferably before things really start growing again.

More reviews to come, too ....
