Diary of a weekend gardener

9sq.m done, 150 to go

Treated the lawn to a scarify, aerate and top dressing. Problem is it took me about an hour to do a patch 3m x 3m, which just leaves the remaining 90% or so. An elephant task this - to be done in small bite sized chunks.

Picked and cooked one of the baby pumpkins yesterday. Not as sweet as butternut squashes, but tasty anyway. Still picking runner beans and carrots, beetroot and leeks still to come.

We moved our eldest daughter into Uni today - end of one era, beginning of a new one for her and for us. Nicely landscaped halls I thought, a view over a field and birds flitting through the trees. I think she'll be fine. Three for dinner tonight.
