Gardening and Me - Who’d have thought it?

My Mum would be so proud!

Yesterday, I spent most of the day tidying up our back garden. It’s been a bit neglected over the past couple of months, mainly due to the glorious British weather.

The grass had been quite overgrown around the edges and also grass seed had gotten on the borders, when we had reseeded a few areas a few months ago. I started by trimming back the overgrown edges, which led to me not keeping them straight as I should have done, partly due to fact that the edges were so overgrown that you couldn’t see them! Once trimmed, I then had to square off the edges so that they looked neat.

Once the grass was done, it was time to start working on the borders. This was the biggest job by far, as the grass seeds had properly taken root. It was hard work, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Just don’t tell my Mum! :)

The only down side to it all, is that my back is now in agony. It has got better throughout the day, and only really hurts when I have to bend. Should be ok for work tomorrow.
