Hearing Elvis Costello
Always save your work: have you saved your work yet?
I hate to nag, but having spent half an hour on the blog, to watch it all disappear with the power cut was most frustrating. This is version 2; the earlier version was better! Now, save your work.
As I was saying, I am determined to get this garden under control this year and we are considering employing a gardener to help me achieve it. Can you imagine what it will be like working under me, in my garden? He (or she) had better be good, I was saying. If you know anyone, send them around. I'm thinking of setting a plant ident test for the interview....that should sort the wood from the trees!
What else was I saying; ah yes: one of the first projects will be to remove a fence, the large bed of grasses behind it and lay the area down to turf. This will open up the space close to the house and make it easier to maintain....and it always looks smarter when the grass is cut. It is not the best time to be moving grasses, I know, but needs must.
I was also telling you about the vegetable garden, the fact that little is now of use and I have started clearing it. I did also sow a row of lettuce in the hope of getting some salad before the frosts arrive. The cherry tomatoes were fantastically fruitful but did not survive our holiday and my plan to have lettuce for our return by cutting back existing plants failed spectacularly.
The first of the autumn fungi are popping up now. Only Parasols in Ampthill Park so far and we find them rather bitter, but I picked some field mushrooms at work last week.
