I am blessed with a great garden it is of a good size and even has a pond with wildlife.
However it would seem to have got a little out of control, so today i decided to try and regain control, and show it who is boss! Even maybe wrestle a few of those tigers that have been seen prowling in the very long grasses of the so called lawn!
So i began just before midayish. I thought that maybe the overgrown borders would be a good place to start. By overgrown i don’t just mean a few small tuffts of grass and weeds i mean huge brambles!
As round one began i felt i really should have maybe given into the macho image of gardening without gloves and brought a pair just so my hands didn’t end up like pin cushions! I did make some progress you can see where i have been however after forty minutes with my trusty spade they got the better of me!
By now my hands and nails are BLACK ! And feeling a tad worse for where, but i refuse to give in! so i figure ill mow the lawn and then at least that will make it look somewhat more presentable!
Well after much wrestling with a considerable number of tigers in the long grasses the lawn was nearly done i just needed to rake up the cuttings, when my trusty four legged companion who up to this point had been amusing itself my harassing next doors OAP four legged guard decided it had a call of nature which had to be answered there and then right when i had just mowed! How very unappreciative of my efforts i thought!
Any way the story so far is borders 1-nill Lawn nill-1!
