Oh dear - that is what I do.


Garden is looking gorgeous Helena xx

Mine looks nothing like that - but I think a certain Ridgeback may have something to do with that !!!

Thanks Joe, and you mustn't do that coz apparently it kills it! I'm sure mine has grown again in only a few days, so I'm really pleased he's now going to cut it every week. Notice I said "he" there and not "me"!!!

The garden looks even better now coz Dave painted the front of the house today, whilst I was putting black mulch on the tree circles, and don't laugh, but I bought a pair of those small cutters, so I "trimmed" the grass all around the edges of the circles too! I had to buy them to cut behind the bamboo plants coz his mower can't get there and I don't want him using the strimmer near the bamboo's coz he might damage them. They're great, you just charge them up, they're like a big pair of dog clippers, and I think I might be getting obsessed with them now coz I got a bit carried away with those in my little mitts!

Why do you think there is no grass in our garden.......OH and lawn mower he'd be saying 'lawn what'..... he wouldn't have a clue, let alone talking about strips

Yes, it is A isn't it, and you should know same as me and Lise (her Brithday is even the same DAY as me!!) I wonder if your hubby has got a pair of those battery charged mini shearers like I've just bought for trimming where the mower can't reach too! I bet he has!!! If not, I'll have to tell him about them!!!

and Kel, now daisies would look just perfect, but perleease no dandelions!!!!

Well I'm a Gemini. Split personality apparently. So one half of me wants to do the garden and the one doesn't.

Looking lovely Helena, eldest Son is a Virgo and he is just the same he comes in when his Dad has done something and casts a critical eye to see if everything is straight and flat.
