I managed to do a mow on 2. It took ages though as I kept having to empty the bottom of all the wet grass. Right at the end, the handle on the mower broke. The clips that hold it in place broke off, so it slides out with all the back and forth. I’ve put tape around it, which held well for the last stretch.

I did random weeding in Bed 8 and Bed 1 with big dandelions now gone from around the carrots. I also did a little weeding in the fern bed. There are different funghi on the logs (one of which has been pecked) and foxgloves have self-seeded all over, including in the folds of the ivy pieces (unless that’s just weeds?).

I cut down some finished sunflowers and saved a couple of small heads and put them in the cocnut that’s on the fence. While over there I found that I have an anise hyssop growing in one of the overgrown pots.

I could have done some more, but ultimately the smoke from the neighbouring bonfire sent me home.
