I did a bit of gardening at the weekend too, but still have masses and masses to do. The front garden is almost finished, and I am just waiting on a delivery of bark to cover the beds to keep the weeds at bay and have started on the back garden. I spent yesterday afternoon weeding and digging and reckon it will take several hours a day for about a week just to get it back up to scratch!

Hope all the Bank holiday gardeners amongst us are not too achey today!

I've just come in from digging weeds in the garden, too, but gave up in the end as the lawn is too wet and soggy to stand on. Spent all morning today and all yesterday afternoon trying to catch up on ironing. I've nearly done it, just the stuff that is still drying to iron now. It is almost unheard of for me not to have an ironing pile, but I am almost there. Hubby has been painting my craft room (our son's old bedroom, he has just moved out - sob!) and it is almost ready for...

Know exactly how you feel, can someone please tell the grass it is only supposed to grow on the lawn and not in all the flower beds as well. also think every dandelion in the world has come to settle in my garden Just come in for a cool down and it is really hot out there, yes in the North of Scotland its hot!!. Definately need to get to grips with the garden this year and tackle the problems, we have a fence between us and the field that is only wire so the grass and the weeds grow...

Hi linda, you're definately not alone in this. Spent Friday and Saturday getting to grips with the front and back gardens, they were such a disgrace, now they look lovely. Mind you, OH cut the grass on Thursday/Friday, in between Coastguard call outs and the back grass will need cutting in a couple of days again.

I've learned the same lesson Linda, i've just finished wrestling with the weeds and although i think I've won I have some war wounds - those nettles were'nt going to give in gracefully and I just know that now my backs turned they'll be planning to come back!!
Good luck tomorrow Linda

Linda

you have my sympathy - my gardening is way behind this year - it has just been so wet. I am still suffering for my weeding endeavours last week!

Why is it that the plants you want to grow don't, the plants you aren't so fussy about take over and smother the ones you want to grow - and as for the weeds .............. anybody would have thought I had put fertiliser on them!
