Hi,
Thanks Logan. I was so fed up of the rain and high wind yesterday I decided to get off my backside and do as I wanted in spite of the weather; as I was changing into my workshop clothes Bron said it's pouring down outside so obviously Blackie was waiting for me and his sister Gale was still trying to blow the bungalow away; I had started and come what may the seeds were going to be broadcast. I battled to hold the shed door against the force of Gale whilst I put my wellies on then with shed door secured I went to the top of the mountain; Blackie was having a breather so just Gale trying to blow me over; it was hopeless at first the seeds disappearing in the wind then I thought if you want to play games with me Gale then you can jolly well help me; I went downhill and with my back to the wind tossed a few seeds into the air; WOW this scattered the seeds nicely so I worked across the garden tossing more seeds into the air and I could see where they were landing; with this section new seeded I wandered down to the side garden and repeated it; with luck we'll enjoy two flower meadows this year; I can trim back any excess flowers; the top of the rear garden was laid to grass which was in very poor condition being mostly moss so a couple of years ago I turned the grass under using a spade it being hard graft; I've been over at least five times since using a rotavator so now the soil is wonderful; the soil is actually too good but we'll see what happens; I won't be cutting the grass and the neighbours who've let their millions of dandelions seed into our garden can have meadow flowers in exchange.
Showers today but still very windy; I need to wash the car AGAIN.
Kind regards, Colin.
