Crikey, how tall are you now? Shouldn't it have grown more if you're a lorry driver now?! :P ;) :D

Wonderful season. Flowers everywhere.
But also a lot of work. Rarely dry lawn. It is growing fast.
Lots of weeds in the strawberries. It was a good harvest. I will replace half of the plants with new ones in autumn.

Very proud of our lawn . Constant weed and feed, mowing, watering 🙄🙄

Also we wanted to create green wall to hide ugly timber fence and finally it’s looking lush, will need massive trim in the autumn though 🙈

Meanwhile- borders and planters very neglected 😔

Many Years ago I have dug this Pond. Sometimes I had many goldfish. Also Sea roses. But there is a large Tree, a alder. He dropped leaves while the whole Year in the pond. Much dirt.
I have later dug a pipeline the deepest ground. Diameter 125 mm.
If I open the plug, the pond is empty past 2 hours. All dirt and leaves go out in the creek. The new filling used a half day.
In the moment I use it for living food.

Not plant related, unless you count me not managing to cut the grass…
But we heard quite a lot of chirping the other day, and found this lot :D
