May 2015 – Linda's garden and wildlife

When it only one person mainly doing all the work as the other even if they want to help but cannot due to constantly bleeding (re kidney problem) that their seems to be no cure for it.

I try and spilt myself in 2 trying to do front garden and back at the same time which

Cannot be done really can it, apart from spilt the day up so many hours in the front then in the back garden.

On a daily basic but it getting there and that’s the main thing but at times I feel I should be getting their quicker than I am doing at present.

The before I started doing the nasty grass that needs to be removed from this area

Hopefully it will all be done and looking good

Today I had a lovely surprise we have frogs in the old blue washing up bowl I had not got round to clearing it out thinking it fall of old drink cans and to my surprise spotted a frog move in the water

AND

All so the bug hotel is getting busy now I thought nothing would go in how wrong was I

i sowed some lettuces today and potted on some tomatoes not sure of name as got from Church taking it a little easy but will get back to the weeding in the back tomorrow

This is nasty grass I do not know it right name bit it trying to take over so I am trying to clear it we have some fennel at the back I belive it broze fennel but not sure

Trying to take the bindweed and bramble out as well as I have some in the backgarden

You can just see the marigolds through the grass its hard work but will be worth it when it done

I have one wheelbarrow full already but I will not be composting it here as I do not have a burning area

Came in for lunch then the heavens open just as I had finshed getting the washing in whitch was good
