We must have been busy as I have missed two weeks blog tut tut.
The lawn at Goltho takes a lot of ware and tear with the amount of people walking on it all the time and to keep it in good order, this month we have treated it with a broad leaved weed killer to get rid of some of the weeds, this made it look really bad with the weeds popping up and looking curled up and wizend. We then cut it and for two weeks scarified it we then gave it a feed, it certainly looks alot better. When we get a decent amount of rain we will then spike which will airate it but it is a bit too hard at the moment to do so.
The pond is alive with tadpoles I think we have all of them in the world as it is a seething mass of little black wriggling bodies all different sizes, no doubt the fish are eating some but I think we will have plenty of frogs this year.
Here at Goltho we go to great lengths to make sure we get plenty of apples in the orchard and the recent frosty weather has not been a problem to us, out we go at 9.00pm to 'tuck up' of little orchard by covering them with duvet covers to prevent the frost spoiling the flower buds and ruining the harvest.
