Gilbert the Good – reseeding the lawn
While practising my role as a Monty Don stand-in dog, I watched Barry reseeding the bare patches in the lawn. Well, they call it a lawn but it’s just a stretch of grass between the trees. There are lots of trees.
Anyway, there are a number of brown bits where the grass has disappeared. It happens every year. Here’s a photograph from a few years ago. It was even worse then.
I watched carefully as Barry mixed earth and seeds and sprinkled them over the blotches and then raked them over. It did look nice and I thought I would help so I went out this morning and rearranged the earth. It smelt so good! I admit I did get a bit carried away and it didn’t look quite as tidy as I thought it would.
When Barry saw it, he thought at first that a fox might have got in and been busy but then he looked at me and knew it was no fox.
I’m learning.
‘I’ve tried to be good, ‘cos I know that I should’ . . .
