The garden looks good.
It feels very weird for me to say that, and even
weirder to say it with pride. I’ve always been handy with a lawnmower, but I’ve
never bothered with all the periphery stuff. With the forced extra time at home
and a lack of opportunities to go out and about, I kind-of fell into the habit
of working outside during Spring. So I worked on the borders, and I cleared out
the weeds, and I took great pleasure in attacking and removing my most hated of
plants – NETTLES. There’s a farm shop nearby that had lots of cuttings and
bulbs going cheap, so I even dug up a new bit and put in some flowers and
things. Simple efforts, but leading to a rewarding result. Anyone who enjoys
gardening will know what I mean, anyone who doesn’t like it won’t understand,
but that’s fine. I’m not going to be one of those converts who starts
evangelising after discovering a new hobby, I’m just going to say, with pride,
and with surprise, that our garden looks really good!
