The grass is always greener...

when new turf has just been laid.

As we are in the middle of 'Pimp my house' we're giving the back garden a make over as the chickens/puppies have destroyed nearly every blade of grass in the lawn over the last 12 months.

Finally Bill the Gardener came today to lay the new lawn and as i was at work, left instructions on how to care for it until he returns in a couple of weeks to do the first cut.

Rule No 1 Make sure you water the grass if it doesn't rain.

Rule No 2 Keep the animals off the grass until it takes..


Well it did rain today, so I don't need to worry about that one.

Rule No 2? well, those little feather monkeys have escaped from their pen about a zillion times this evening.

Claire and I are fed up catching them in the act of escaping or merrily scratching and munching at the new turf.

When Mr G gets home tomorrow tighter security fencing will have to be constructed or else Bill won't be happy!

But who can blame the chooks? the grass is always greener.
