Started scarifying the lawn yesterday and got the worst bits done. Now to finish the job. Such fun 🙄

The lawn is Geoff’s domain! He has an electric scarifier 😂

Neil cuts mine and has actually offered to do it but I wanted him to get on with painting the front fence, more fool me 😂 I used to have an electric one but it took up so much space in the shed that I sold it 🙄 @joanboston

Do you leave some of the moss for the birds ? I often see them pecking at my grass which is mainly moss !!!

I never manage to get it all out, try as I may. The sparrows like pecking the wood from my trellises for their nests 🙄😂 @charlotte

Geoff had a week off to paint all the fences a few weeks ago. They look great

It makes such a difference doesn't it. We're still painting ours. We made a good start then the cold and winds started so it got put back. Started again today though but it feels like it's never ending @joanboston

Fortunately Geoff was off before the weather took a dive! Took him working all day six days to do front back and side. He was glad to go back to work for a rest😂

Until you start you don't realise how much there is 😱😂😂 @joanboston

So..........the husband bought a rotavator as we are going to re-do the front garden. He wanted to try it out so I said just do a little bit at the edge 😱😱6/8/19

Seems like it works ok

Men and their toys !!!

Hmmm, yes it does Liam @Opuntia 😂😂

Grrrrrrrrr, do they ever listen @charlotte 🙄😂

Oops

Oops indeed Joan @joanboston 😂😂

Now that he knows his new toy works, he'll be keen to get on and do the rest!

I know Sue, but I wanted to wait until everything had gone over so that I could pot the plants up as the whole lot needs doing. Eekkk @lilybee Time for plan B whatever that is 🙄😂

Are you laying a new lawn or is it all going to be plants? @pelly

New lawn but hopefully slightly bigger borders. The front gardens where I live are all open so so many weeds blow in and it's got to the stage where I can't keep up with it. With a fresh start I'm hoping it will be easier @lilybee 🤔👍

Absolutely Jason @Jasonsparkes1 🙄😱😂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom there you go, the front is worse!!! 😱😱😱

@pelly I bet it’s like concrete too😬😬

Yup, and it crackles when I walk on it 😂😂😂 @acermad

@pelly bloody Nora..!! yes same #deadasadodo ☹️😍

☹☹☹

Maybe I should dig it up and fill it with flowers Elaine, only trouble is it's solid 👿👿👿 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

On the plus side you can see any weeds you have in the lawn as they'll pop up lovely and green 🤣🤣🤣

Oh yes, there's a few of those in there Julie @vec 😁😁😁

@pelly we might all be surprised Jane it might come back better...🤣

Wow! You are THAT dry? Do you have a ban on fires and water both? 😨

Oh my goodness 😮 mine isn't that dry as I have to water over my grass to reach the far flower bed

All the more reason to have more flowers 😉😉

Brrr, a very crunchy lawn this morning ❄️❄️

Brrrrr..

...good morning Jane...it's "brass monkeys"

Morning John, it certainly is @ukjohnny 👍👍

@pelly Morning Jane 👋

Morning Mike @mikethegardener 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

❄❄ same here 🖒Good morning I'm not out yet instead watching BBC 2 gardening repeats 🤗

Morning Lynda @LyndaClack 😊😊

Morning Diane, I don't blame you @Diane76 👌👌

Morning Jane bright and sunny here now but chilly.. coffee and a botany book for me this morning ☕️ 📖 enjoy your Sunday 😘

Morning Jane, yep, not a day for shorts for sure but if it warms up a little I hope to get out there and maybe prune a few gone over plants

Thick white frost here but beautiful sunshine too 😊 bit of art work, nice and cosy indoors for me this morning ☕

Nearly there. Just need go re-sow a few places 💚💚💚

What a difference! Well done you! 👍🏼 all that hard work is paying off! 👌🏼💚

It certainly is Rachel thank you @rachelbrooks 😀😀😀

Great job Jane 💚

This is a bit of the worst part since using the 4 in 1 treatment, it is shaded by next door's Conifer hedge. My job this morning was to scarify it (and the rest of the lawn) .

Good way to keep fit 😄 @pelly

It certainly is Kat. I'm off shopping soon then another go at it @katgreen 😊😊😊

@engdyna #monthlysnapshot@pelly . This is a before pic, it is actually greener than the photo shows. 😮😮😮

Yeah it's okay, in a weeks time hopefully more thicker, greener and fill in the patches a bit 👍

Watch this space 👀

There may be a lot of spaces Jacqueline 😂😂😂😂 @jacq

Interesting to see in 7 days

Scary I think. 😦😦😦 @titchyfra

🤞🤞🤞

Look forward to the after Jane. We really need to get something done with ours. It's full of moss for the first time ever 😞 Dread the thought of getting the moss off and what it will look like 😱

I won't have a lot of grass left Sue 😂😂😂. Next job in two weeks is to scarify and after that re-seed, but it had to be done, we've not touched it since we moved in. I was going to do it last autumn, but never got round to it. @susanhumphrey333 😊😊😊
