it's ok for some

That's the life, eh Goldie!

I managed to get out for a couple of hours myself and am halfway through a blog now. I'm goint to check the front lawn to see if there's any chance of me cutting it. If not, I'll work on some of the weeds in the border under the conifers and do some prep ready for the bark we hope to put down in the coming weeks. We have named it the 'Woodland Area' as we are looking to attract wildlife etc.

Great to hear you're making progress out there though. Keep up the good work girl!!!

Now someone has recommended that I cut my back lawn cover in a skin and then lay bark down....as I want to reduce the amount of maintenance on my garden.........
the problem is though having to wheelbarrow it up through the back entry to my back garden..
Will read you blog with interest Billie
Cheers

Awww...... Jilly&Shadow look so comfortable Goldie my boxer Balboa lies on a 2 seater bed settee (thats his bed if you dont mind) in the kitchen he`s the full length of it Lol hope you get your garden sorted.......oh the things we have to do:~)))))

I have to agree with Marguerite on the bark issue.

When i moved here there was bark laid in a 8' x 8' border and i was continuously having to pick it up off the lawn 1) because it looked a mess and 2) it kept ruining the mower blades as it was buried in the grass.
Grrrrr.

Ok so bark is off my list of choices then........:0)
Thanks for the input.

Marguerite I am bit physically challenged at the moment,
Just got rid of my walking stick............Hurray ! But don't want to over do it this year, and any digging or kneeling is definitely out..........But have taken on board your comments about the bark.
Thanks Marguerite and Louise

Two contented pals, I tried bark in part of my dog run a couple of years back ,it looked neat but was terrible when wet because the colour transferred to my dogs paws,then onto the path and yard , it took months to rid the path and yard of the stains,never used it again.........
