NEXT TASK

If there is a downside to the warmer days of early summer, it’s right here. The grass on the lawn grows far too quickly!
Leave it a few days in anticipation of gaining the inspiration to get the mower out and spend a little while in the garden, and you are faced with what at first sight looks an unkempt outdoors.
We do have the lawn professionally treated every three months with the principlel that it will keep our grass in first class condition throughout the year. In practice, in winter it is hard to believe that the grass will become lush when spring, and particularly summer, eventually arrives.
Long term though, we believe it pays off, and the benefits are there in my Blip to see.
Except that the grass fertiliser spread over the lawn last month to encourage  it to grow, given a modicum of rain, suddenly sprints ahead. At the weekend the grass was particularly green, but the lawn, though in clear need of cutting, was respectable.
 
I’m not so sure today. We’ve achieved the results of what we pay for in care of the lawn  over the winter months, but just look at it today. And what’s more depressing that I will undoubtedly need do it twice!
