Wednesday 17th June 2015 – That’s a quarter all perfect, only three quarters left to do!!

I continued today with sorting meticulously through each bed by weeding, cutting the grass, watering, manuring and feeding. It takes a while to do some beds, but once a bed is done you get a huge sense on achievement. I continued … Continue reading
