I’ve spent a lovely few hours in the garden, cut the lawn on a highcut I was really surprised how much the ground had dried out from a week ago and the grass itself was also dry and easy to cut, I’ve cut back a Hebe that was dangling all over one section of lawn and recut about 6’ of the edge of the lawn the rest will have to be done another day as my backs now had enough. I really enjoyed myself so nice to feel the warmth of the sun on my back.
This is the only time I miss not being able to have a soak in a nice hot bath ??

What is the link?
Not so sure we should be clicking on it.

I have three professional gardeners in my family, my lawn is tall enough to hide my black Labrador, no joke, a case of cobblers shoes methinks

My neighbour cuts mine and I’m very happy to let him ?.
Been cutting it for weeks, never seems to be a season when he doesn’t mow the lawns.

Lovely! Unfortunately, I'm with the others, sometimes the grass is just too squelchy to be cut when it needs it. My partner and I recently gave up on all the effort of constantly mowing and re-seeding and the ongoing upkeep of the garden. We got a good quote from Maze Grass UK to come and replace it with artificial turf. It looks just as good and is perfect all year round!

DH cut ours this afternoon. It looks pristine - except for the four foot square patch of buttercups and long grass bang in the middle! His contribution to wildlife conservation, apparently! I’ll get used to it.....
