From Sunflowers to Potatoes…
Rain rain rain rain rain, and a bit more rain. 2008 is much like 2007 was, full of rain and not much else!
The Front:
Evidence of the rain here! The grass seed that we planted the other month has come along very well. Everything is just waiting for the frosty winter. Buddlea is well overdue to be pruned back a lot. Sunflowers need to be taken out, but birds and things are having a nice time with it all at the moment.

rain rain rain rain rain….. sunflowers still hanging on. The extra grass seed that we planted is starting to come up.
Rain rain rain rain rain :( All summer.

The front - I cut the grass for the first time at the weekend with a new snazzy recharable strimmer that we got from Woolworths. The strimmer is fab, no more trailing cables everywhere, extension lead running from the house and all that, although it did seem a little under powered for some of the long grass. Since then I’ve fully charged the battery so just waiting for a day that it does not rain to try it again. Anyhow, the grass is cut, the older grass not the new bit. I didn’t really know if I should do it or not, seeing as it is meant to have wild flowers growing in it, but it got to a point that it had to be cut a bit in order to stop it turning into a jungle.
The back - urgently needs grass cutting. It is still all a bit mess!
