    We pick about a third of them while they’re still green, thinning them out ... then leave the rest to continue swelling and ripening until they’re gorgeous sweet transluscent golden globes, like little Christmas tree baubles 😋

    Evening all. Busy busy busy here.
    I've finished cutting the grass , again. Twice before the end of March. V chuffed.
    The new border is coming along a treat. About 30 grasses planted and about the same number of agapanthus laid out ready to go in.

    I like the yellow ones best, sweet enough to eat raw.

    I've been sowing seeds. Didn't weed spray the fallow area as it's rather windy.

    Sounds as though your garden will be glorious, Obelixx.

    We haven’t been able to cut our grass once yet, it’s very wet, trouble is, once you cut it it promotes growth, maybe this weekend, probably next.

    if you run out of agapanthus, I have loads of youngish ones grown from seed.

    It already is in my head Busy Lizzie.  Just need time and rain to get it all done.

    If OH hadn't cut the French lawn it would be knee high by now! The Norfolk one needed cutting badly, he did it twice while we were there.

    Ground hugging grass here, still not very long, most of it’s moss as is usual after the winter.

    I don't believe it, she has only gone an announced she will quit as PM.
    That will probably mean her c##p deal will pass. Do these people have no shame.
    I need a drink.
