Last Cut

The Garden was full of leaves and the lawn was looking ragged, but with a couple of dry days behind us, I decided to give the lawn a last cut.
We raked as many leaves as we could onto the top lawn and gave it a mow.  It is looking good at present.
The side lawn is always easy to mow as it is better drained, and has more fertile soil, and it is flat.
The problem is always with the far lawn, where the poorly drained clay soil means that it is wet for most of the autumn.
Then there is the challenge of the grass between the raised beds.  The power cable is always in the way.
The greenhouse is now clear of crop plants and is becoming a protective receptacle for the tender potter plants and seedlings.
We had a voucher from Sainsburys this week for a free pumpkin - Watch this space!
