An additional pic of the week 24/9/23
After a blisteringly hot start to September, followed by a very wet couple of weeks, today I cut back the lawn. Began with my strimmer – fortunately had got most if it done before there was an audible “pop”, a flash of flame followed by smoke as I burnt out the motor. I had done enough to allow me to finish the job with the lawnmower.
Looks quite neat now – such that I wonder why I didn’t cut it sooner! – but I think it is the change that makes it appealing. I have enjoyed the long grass and a few wildflowers (would love to see more wildflowers take hold) and the habitat it has provided for the insects.
Next job (next week?) is to plant the bulbs from last years pots into the lawn ready for next spring.
