Cold, wet and windy weather has resumed. I got the mowing finished just in time.
The lawn is looking very green and vibrant now which is nice, but there are still a few empty gaps that need filling in. I seem to have managed to keep most of the weeds out, but Spring is going to be the big test of that. The font yard is not quite as good, I think they planted the wrong type of grass for that location. It really struggled with summer, as it is in full sun and has window reflections and a lot of surrounding concrete to deal with.
Mine is too but it's half oxalis lol.
I've given up.
My lawn is fast asleep for the winter and wonβt need mowing for several months yay!
Mine has been dozing a bit, I really needed to mow it weeks ago and kept putting it off. I should have a few months to ignore it again, which will be nice. It will give me a chance to do the weeding and tidying in the garden beds before spring.
I need to start thinking about planting some early seeds for tomatoes and things indoors soon too - I have a tendency to leave it a bit late, I'd like to try and get the timing right for once this year! If all goes to plan I'll probably end up with a thriving garden just in time for me to move out and the next tenant to get most of the harvest!
