    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Continued removing moss from the paths. Then we mowed the "lawn" for the first time. This year not many daisy plants. Had to get the hose out for the pots and the tunnel. Again the first time.

    Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited

    I've been to Hever a few times I used to live in Kent before moving to France, but I've been more recently too. It's expensive but I'm an RHS member for visiting the gardens.

    Field woodruff in my lawn

    Is it not killed by normal weed and feed products? But I would agree in making the lawn less susceptible by improving the conditions for the grass over the weeds.
