Yesterday i cut the lawn for the first time this year. Now of course, the first of February is usually rather early to do this but the mild Winter means the grass has been growing recently and was becoming pretty high. My trusty old hand mower was just about able to cut the grass down (with a lot of effort!) As rain was forecast for the night and for next weekend i thought i had better do it now or it might become too long. The rest of the garden is fine, especially the new shrub garden. However an animal seems to delight in digging holes in the plot.
