Planting Time

Well, the early Bank Holiday Weekend arrived and I was able to make a weekend visit to Colondannes and the sun came out, through the rain showers.  The previous week had been very warm, with temperatures in the mid 20's and apparently there had been little rain in the previous few weeks.

I was able to tidy up the garden and cut the grass, which had not grown too much although my weed feed in April had done its job and made the dandelions grow tall, but hopefully will die.  A shrub bed was enlarged and involved more work than I had thought, but I managed to plant some new shrubs and cover with membrane and bark to keep the weeds at bay.

The really good news is that the Moles do not seem to be active at the moment , or rather they are not active in our garden at least!

We will bring some more shrubs at the end of the month to complete the new bed and let is flourish.
