The last few days have been blissfully cool and while the
garden doesn’t seem to be very happy about it, I must admit to enjoying it
immensely! Even with a few days of rain and cooler temperatures the lawn has
been very dry so I have been leaving mowing it in the hope it may help keep
some moisture in it. Today I couldn’t take it anymore (I loathe a long lawn)
and pulled “Mowie” out for his maiden voyage around the lawn, after a few pulls
and a warm up I used a petrol mower for the first time in years with pleasing results as well as a nice
addition to the compost bin.
Still waiting for more zucchinis to grow but the
tomatoes are starting to provide a couple daily, they are laden with some big
bunches so I don’t mind them spacing the ripening out. I would however like to
throttle the clever dick that found his way under the bird netting and ate a
large, just ripened bloody butcher!
