We went away to my parents for the bank holiday so didn’t I actually spend any time in the garden. I haven’t been spending much time outside anyway because of the daily showers that are still continuing and don’t show any sign of stopping soon.

There wasn’t much to do outside anyway but when we got back, I got the distinct impression that the plants had a bit of a party while we were away. The grass had become overgrown and the garden is beginning to look a little bit of a jungle – in a good way.

Mowing the grass and giving the edges a good trim should set things right again.
