Over the last 2 days I spent cutting grass, cutting weeds, strimming borders, clipping back trees and shrubs. We had No Mow May here in Ireland to promote keeping wild flowers for the bees and butterflies, I have still kept the back garden and one side of the front garden wild, but the main lawn had to be cut and tidied, 3 trailer loads of grass weeds clippings etc. down onto the bog for natural recycling and composting. I also watered all the patio plants, hanging baskets etc. Then spent the afternoon in the poly tunnel tying up 18 tomato plants, feeding my tomatoes and chilli’s, I dug out a few onions that were bolting, they will do for curry tomorrow evening. Watered all my cabbage, kale and strawberries outside and even gave the onions a quick spray they were looking a bit parched.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.
