Messed Up on the Grass Order

So I ordered the grass for our vegetable patch. Thought we would be getting 16 square metres to cover the whole patch but we ended up with 16 metre rolls :) not quite what we were expecting so another order is in for next week.  On the plus side Lee has managed to fix all the awkward patches and I've been smashing slate tiles to go around the Rowan Trees.

Smashed Slate Tiles

As we have loads of old wood, these are being put to use to edge the borders, fix fences are other useful things.

The Vegetable Patch

We were putting this off as it is such a big job. The whole lot needs to be cleared as we are laying down grass for low maintenance ... but I need to save the plants first and dig out all those weeds.

Plants saved and most went to good homes including the local garden centre.

Replanting the Ferns

This border is going to have steps going down to our small archery range so I cleaned all the dried leaves out and replanted some of the Ferns that are springing up around the rest of the garden. I've also put some Aquilegia to give it a little bit of colour. Solomon's Seal is already in flower and some Geraniums, hopefully the carpet of Ivy will come back and keep the weeds out.

Such a glorious day again and managed to snap a few photos of Lee working in the garden. Besides numerous trips to the tip to get rid of the garden rubbish, Lee has been picking Dandelions, mowing the Lawn and Sweeping the Tarmac :)
