Going quackers

The forecast is for wet or drizzly weather this week, so last weekend we decided that we had better have a fire to burn the huge pile of ‘prunings’ that we had gathered.

The ruling on our site is that fires should only be lit one hour before dusk so before we started on the fire we had a few others jobs to keep us occupied.

I cleared the roots from last year’s brassica bed and did more weeding and hoeing.

Martyn, decided to clear the old lavender plants. The plants had become very woody and straggly and were infested with couch grass. Now that the lavender has been removed we will need to dig out the grass roots. Once the lavender was cleared it revealed an unexpected resident – a rather large frog. He or she was gently transferred to another hiding place.
