I managed to do a mow on 2 pretty easily. A couple of the paths in particular are very full of thatch; I’m not sure if I’ll be able to rake it out myself. A mow on 1 is the next job, if it can be done.

I weeded all of the left border. It was a little damp, but not far off the ideal weeding moisture level. It produced a whole bucket of  grass and weeds. I need to check last year’s photos and see if a current hole will fill up with something later – or do I have room for another lupin? They at least don’t seem to mind the wet winter ground.

There were some good birds to be heard, including the mistle thrush, a redwing and the wren.
