Anyone on here like their garden. Other than my cars and outings with the caravan both of which are out of bounds at the moment I do like my garden.
Even as a young lad I looked after my mother’s garden after losing dad when I was only 13 years old.
After getting married all three of our houses had neatly kept gardens but my current one is where I’ve spent most of my time and effort keeping it nice. My brother who was a head green keeper for most of his working life was a great help with forming my lawns after digging up both the previous ones. I remember getting a huge load of sand to add into the already well worked soil and thinking I had ordered to much. I’m sure I could have doubled the quantity.
I power rake both lawns on a regular basis through the season usually every couple of months but today I decided it was time to get the big tools out and dig out the hollow tine aerator and boy is this a work out.
The last time this was done my brother gave me a hand but sadly he passed away two years ago so I’ve been thinking about him today. I can guess what would have to say with the way our country is with this lock down as he said it as he thought whether it was right or wrong but I do miss him.
Had it not been for Covid 19 I doubt this work would be done as I would be swanning around somewhere with the top down
Now where did I put that Gin !
