Just noticed my snakes head fritillaries are out in flower. Only planted them last year so well chuffed. Wonderful display.

Think I overdone the fertilisation of the front green last year but the lawn was crap anyway and was giving it a try, with 4 lime trees above the grass which was probably laid 100 years ago the top of the turf is just solid leaf deposit and no new growth can break through. Scarified and fertilised last year with no improvement and will be taken up in the next week for new turf.

I hate mowing the lawn (& I have only had a lawn for 11 months) ultimately I plan to pave the lot: or maybe astro turf, it has gotten a lot better in recent years

This criticism is most unfair as there are very few things in life that are more fascinating than the composting of moss. Only the other day I began a unique scientific experiment to determine which composted fastest:
a) Moss
b) Used bog paper
c) Memories of the 2009 August episode of Big Brother
d) Interest in the referendum on AV voting .
Watch this space.

I mowed my lawn today. Tedious. Then tried to strim the edges and got pissed off with the string spooly thing that kept falling off and hurled the strimmer at a concrete wall. Serves it right. Things can annoy me for 5 minutes then they are toast. Why do we not equip toddlers with nuclear weapons? World problems would be sorted much quicker.
