Jobs for the day

With all the hard work put into preparing the ground yesterday, the next job was for Brian to start to lay the path to the composter. He’d made a small step at the end, which gave him a straight edge to work from, now all he needed was pavers. The hardest thing was moving all the pavers up the steps ready to be laid, they’re heavy and cumbersome, and he needed a lot of them. We all tried to ensure he was kept with a steady supply, but it wasn’t that easy as we were all doing our own little jobs.

The path soon started to take shape though, and I was loving how it looked, with the little pockets either side for me to fill with some suitable plants.

I was making the first mow of the year on the slope. I cut it quite long for the first cut, so as not to shock it too much. I soon had it looking so much tidier.

Louise had moved onto sanding the garden furniture ready for painting. It’s never an easy job as there are so many little corners and edges.

By the time it came to down tools we were all quite exhausted. All in all a very successful day in the garden
