Blanket Weed removal and its prevention
I opted for trying to cover the surface of the pond with plants, lilies and water hawthorn are doing a pretty good job in our pond without using any chemicals.

What's your weather like APRIL 2024
8 degrees with a cold gentle breeze makes it feel quite cold, but I planted out some peas in modules, they were getting root bound so had to go out, forecast is for a bit warmer and dry later.

It's sometimes difficult if you're offered a plant and don't want to be rude to the person, or refuse it etc. I'm finding it easier now that I'm older though!

Next time I see her I will have to remember to check out what her thoughts and plans are for the chooks. I really miss my 4.00am alarm calls. There is a sense of satisfaction when cooking, if I use next doors eggs. Even if I have had nothing to do with their care. Ah well, onwards and upwards.
