Non stop gardening
Saint Ignace de Loyola
Only one gite to change this week, so it gave me a bit of etra time in the garden. As it was so hot, 29°C, I cleared a load of waist high weeds and brambles from the old bread oven and the wooded area down by the stream. It's nice and cool down there. It made a huge improvement, really lightening up and opening out the whole area.
Once the day had cooled a little, it was back on the mower. I mowed the play field yesterday, but it left far too many grass clippings and looked a little messy, so with much aggravation I fitted the grass collecting bins and ran over it again. I wish the mower manufacturers made it a little easier to add and remove the grass collecting paraphanallia.
Big gardens are alot of work. Now I know why the owners of old country estates used to employ teams of gardeners.
