Sunny Sunday

Yes the sun actually shone!

Because of the rain and serious snail damage I had sort of abandoned the garden. I felt so annoyed at having worked so hard only to have all our plants eaten. Even if I had wanted to, I would have struggled to find a dry enough day to cut the grass.

However, today Soren and I got stuck in. He collected as many snails as he could and moved them as far away from the sweet peas as possible. Then he built a trap with a jar filled with beer. I mowed, swept and weeded and while it is not the blooming and productive garden I planned, it looks tidy.

I worked on another family picture while Maisy made these cute pictures of her class mates to give as leaving gifts. Still 2 weeks left at school...

  2. The garden looks great. And I know what you mean about the slugs/snails. I've more or less given up this year too. Maisy's pictures are fab! x
