Wish I hadn't done that (aka think before you weed n feed)
The grass was looking a little shabby as I hadn't but down any feeding yet.
I'd held off as as I use a weed and feed and didn't want to kill the snowdrops and crocuses. With me so far? So I went out gaily sprinkling the weed and feed (and then went back out 3 days later to fill in the bits I missed - who needs a roller on the lawnmower when you can put in artificial stripes). Unfortunately I'd sort of forgotten that we intended to dig up a bit of the grass to plant our holly hedge. To be honest it wasn't so much I'd forgotten, more that I didn't think the weedkiller in the lawn food would linger. Well it does. For at least 6 weeks. Damn it. This is a public service announcement on behalf of the stupid gardener. Well the holly plants will need to be planted up into bigger pots in the meantime and looked after for another 6 weeks. At least I'll still be able to lift the turf and dig through some manure and sand and they'll still have time to get settled before autumn. Anyone else care to share their brilliant contributions? |
