Grass and Mole Rampant!

Grass and Mole Rampant!

Well, there's a mole, well I presume it is just the one, rampaging all over the back (and the front) lawns at the moment. It is really annoying as you get hills that look so big you'd think a labrador had dug them.

He/she has been getting away with it as we have been tired out by a serious crisis with our old dog, who has been in and out of vets like crazy for a fortnight. We hope it is now over and she will survive to woof another day, but it's all been rather mysterious, so it's just a case of fingers crossed.

Whilst I did manage to get a few daffodils planted, I still have lots of alliums, tulips and hyacinths to do, although the latter can easily wait until November. The lawn, although lush and green, has been sorely neglected by the mower in chief, due to work and dog commitments. It is far too long and he has now given it a cut with the mulching mower so it has clods of grass all over the surface. That, coupled with the huge molehills, looks a not so pretty sight I can tell you.

Let's hope we can get on top of it soon, before all the beech and oak leaves fall all over it!
