At last
Managed to get my grass cut at last, it's last cut was sept 2011, I
started last July but the cutter bar broke, and by the time it was fixed the monsoon season had started. Now I have to pick it up before the rains hit. Yesterday I saw the first Brimstone butterfly of the year, and today out the field there was a dandy lion, buttercup, daisy chickweed and mouse eared chickweed all in flower. Could this be Spring testing the water? Lastly, a couple of years ago I bought a 6.5Hp Tiller/Rotovator With Forward and Reverse Drive. on Ebay, the idea was to use it for rotovating the paths between the dahlia beds, well it got around 18 hours work the first year, last year it got about 2 hours, last was in Sept. This afternoon I thought I'd knock the cobwebs out of it, it started 4th pull, and then did about half an hour before I was knackered from all the work today as well as a hospital visit after lunch. It is very basic but There is a place for it, it's used with me almost as a mechanical hoe, 1 forward gear and 1 reverse. No throttle, you set a fixed speed.
