It had felt very good to manage to fight a lot of chaos in the garden. I am totally not of the English lawn persuasion, but there are limits as to how wild I think a garden should be. And I was well aware I wasn't finished yet! And to make things worse, I was well aware that while I would be in the Netherlands, my garden would not be sitting still. So there will be plenty of work still to go when I came back! And they indeed was.
Obviously, the grass needed cutting again. And I wanted to finish the work on the main raised bed that looked all terrible before I started on it in the first place. And there were the other beds! And the bit of the upper garden by the fence! And lots of other things!

| Tidy front of the house! Although my acer seems to have died… |

| Upstairs garden looking quite tidy |
 |
| Main raised bed looking decidedly acceptable |
I didn't even make any progress on the raised bed that I had mostly cleared of ivy. Too many other things to do! But I was okay with the final result. At the end of the weekend I felt like I could show my garden again without shame. And that is quite something. Although I am sure I will have to do another one of those rounds after I come back from Finland!
