Resumption

At last the grass is growing, albeit slowly now.  Yesterday I mowed for the first time in nearly 4 months!  Yet this resumption of duties was significant for another reason.  At the weekend we went to a second-hand book sale in aid of charity and Sue found a book on Garden Design ... bad move as it has led to a rethinking on the 'wild meadow/grass' at the far end of the rear garden.  The difficulties of dealing with the very long grass in the Autumn which you have to scalp if you want wild flowers in the Spring has proved a problem.  So, now I have mowed two rectangular beds/areas to leave as grass as inspired by the garden designer Piet Oudolf.

However, the size of the grass beds and their exact positioning isn't cast in stone ... yet!
