      Hello all

      I Hope you are Well.

      It is a Nice Day, so, I have been out for an Hour or so This Morning.

      I have given the Lawns, Front and Back, their First Cut of the Year, they were both looking scruffy, much better now though.

      This is how they look now:

      Hopefully, now they have been Cut, the Lower Growing Grasses will have a chance of Growing.

      I have also Cut Back one of the Lavenders in the Back Garden and Cleared up the Leaves that had accumulated in the Borders.

      The other Two Lavenders and the Santolina will have to Wait until after Thursday as the Green Bin is Full.

      Thanks

      Kevin

        Hello @CanadianLori

        Thanks for the compliment, it is appreciated.

        I spent another Hour in the Back Garden Today using my Kneeling Mat, 1000mm x 500mm Closed Cell Foam, and a Pair of Grass Shears (?) To tidy the Edges of the Lawn.

        The Edges look a lot better but my Hands are aching.

        I am not able to use a Half Moon Edger due to the way the Tiles and Setts were laid so Grass Shears it is .

        Now I just need to wait for the Green Bin to be emptied on Thursday so I can get more done and in the process Fill the Green Bin, again.

        Thanks

        Kevin

          That paving is so perfect. I replaced most of my raised garden boarding with cement blocks and I am not looking forward to when the snow melts and I'll see how uneven they've gotten. It drives me nuts when things aren't level or symmetrical or straight or... you get my drift!

          Hello @CanadianLori

          Being Autistic, I absolutely understand :wallbanging:

          I mentioned somewhere previously, but, I do not like Straight Lines as, to me, there is no such thing, there is always a deviation no matter how small.

          That is why my Patio is shaped the way it is.

          Kevin

          Hello all

          I Hope you are Well.

          Well, my least favourite Job for March is Complete, More or Less.

          Cleaning the Water Feature in the Back Garden, which involves Removing the Stones, Cleaning the Mesh that is on the Top which Stops the majority of Waste from falling into the Reservoir, Repeatedly Draining and Refilling the Reservoir until it Runs relatively Clear.

          Overall, it sounds Straight Forward, in reality it is anything but :wallbanging:

          It took a Few Hours and all is Done, mostly, I just need to Rinse the Stones and put them back on Top of the Mesh.

          The Rinsing is Done but I am Aching and really do not want to do it Today, so Tomorrow it is, after my Dentist Appointment for a Checkup :sad:

          All Fun

          Kevin
