Gardening

Have spent nearly 12 hours over the last week or so cutting down the nettles and other weeds on the paddock with a borrowed strimmer. Reckon there was about ¼ of an acre of nettles which were over 5ft tall – have to make sure you lean back when they fall. The place is looking very tidy and was fertilised yesterday to encourage the grass. Will have to keep going with the strimmer to give the grass a chance but hope that we have started to get it under control. A couple of weeks good growth and we will have the donkey and horse back again – along with Lucy’s new colt who was born on Monday. Awwww!
