The Garden
The Garden

I've turned all the earth and removed a lot of the weed roots and some of the stones, but it's still a long way from being finished. I think I'll sow grass tomorrow, whatever, but I'll have to spend an hour or two picking rocks out of it first.
I've also sowed some wild meadow flowers at the far end, beyond the compost bins. I'm not sure how successful they'll be. Even if they are, the flowers won't bloom until next year. The plan is to make that area a bit of a wilderness garden, any suggestions are welcome.
There's a new compost bin now, as well. It's huge. I'll bed it in tomorrow, probably.

Le Lawn
The rather dul, perfectly kempt lawn used to be an English obsession. Now, it seems, French gardeners are succumbing to its dubious charms. I'm starting work on the garden behind the house and have already stated my intention to break up the grass with Rosemary and other bushes, as much to cut don on the amount of mowing that is required as for any aesthetic reasons.
