Monday was another day in the garden and I finally managed to finish clearing the overgrowth from the lawn and borders on to the drive. It has made quite difference and the front of the house now likes like it is under management rather than badly neglected.
30% and I cut back and dug out a huge Honeysuckle from the front border, which is now residing in a wheelbarrow pending transplantation. Our original plan was to insert it in to one of the hedges, but one test hole proved that it would be a horrendous task to dig it in. We therefore decided to plant it alongside Rose Cottage where it can do its worst to screen the tin shed.
As the afternoon drifted in to early evening, I mixed up a couple of batches of Roundup and sprayed the grass growing amongst the cobble effect, blocks of the drive. I then continued spraying weeds up the path to the front door.
Hopefully the Postman will appreciate the tidier route to the post box and will no longer get soaked now the Honeysuckle has been removed..
Once the weedkiller takes effect, the front of the house should look a little less like Granny Weatherwax's cottage.
