...the sun must be keeping you all in the garden.
I have been busy giving the lawns their first cut and servicing the
machines. Very pleased with my Hayter ride on grass cutter, I have had it
for 4 years now and only sharpened the blade for the first time after
this mornings first cut of the season, even then it didn't really need
it, but having removed the deck to get to it I thought I might as well
sharpen it a little.

I filled a couple of big dips in the front lawn with soil last autumn and
spread them with grass seed a few weeks ago. I had begun to think the
pigeons had eaten all the seed but the warmer weather of the last week
has started it all sprouting.

The Hayter is now parked behind the snow blower so winter is now
officially over here in Leyburn!

Oh well, tea drunk, back to the garden.


I sprayed white stuff on the greenhouse, since it was 38degC[1] in there
and the seedlings fried.

know it can be done.
