Well done Millie! That looks like hard work to me. I think turf is one of the hardest things to shift. I think I'd rather attack brambles!

Looks beautiful.....I too have to take my offspring to the lottie, I wonder about tethering like a goat and what the NSPCC would say about it! He does have a patch that he can 'look for dinosaur bones' in its amazing how many of them look like gravel

kind thoughts

Looks like you did really well and had some lovely weather - was rather wet here in Aberdeenshire yesterday afternoon.

Ohh do so know what you mean about not being therapeutic with kids in tow... it's fine if you can keep them interested but hard work otherwise... 'don't step on those - i've just planted them... aaargh!'

'no... they REALLY don't need any more water... they've got enough there to be aquatic plants'

What a change! Looking better than my garden, that's for sure... (And I don't have the valid excuse of children running about... :oops: )

Wow - you've even put labels in... I generally end up not knowing what half the stuff is that's supposed to be growing there! :oops:

Looks very good to me.
