What a cracking day!
Woke up this morning with the intention of going to the gym. Took one look out the window and decided to spend the day in the garden instead.
My wee fenced garden is a mess. I did hardly anything in there last year because I concentrated on the chicks, and then come autumn I wasn't really well enough to do anything about it. Thankfully the winter put paid to the weed growth and I have managed to get out there before Spring has put too much spring into the roots of said weeds.
First off, I collected the stuff I had pulled last week that the dogs had kindly scattered over the whole area, and then chucked it all in the brazier and put a match to it. Man, I stink now! Actually, there was a lot of rosemary cuttings in there so the smoke smelled quite lovely. My rosemary had self seeded all over the flippin place, so I ripped a lot of it up.
Next I started digging. I wanted to dig up a lot of weeds and grass, which unfortunately is most of the beds area. The dogs have ripped up most of the ground cover plants I had out there, which was a shame because I wanted to cultivate that. Bloody vandals. Anyway, I dug an area of about 3' x 15' and I got to the point where I couldn't actually straighten up again after digging the fork in. I still have absolutely masses of digging left to do. 
I gave up about 2pm and got changed, then walked down to the village to collect the kids from school.
Sauna, tonight, methinks
