My Garden

Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb!
The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge.
We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't.
The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like.
I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

September ~ New Mower

New Lawn Mower


Our new mower, bought this weekend, to replace a very old, noisy one which had started to produce a poor result.
We went shopping for a new one and had been prepared to pay about £100+ to get a good one with strong design.
We'd almost made up our minds when we saw this one on 'Special' and decided to give it a go; at £40 it probably won't last as long as our last one but it will do a turn.
I assembled it this morning and cut the back lawn


Nice neat design; we don't need big and chunky for our modest sized garden


Mower used and green bag filled



Finished cut; our lawn is not very even so we're never going to get a bowling green look but it's a good colour and nice play area.
