Looking pretty blooming tidy
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Thursday, 28th of March 2024
Today’s blustery balmy Spring weather was perfect for pruning and tidying Ms A’s garden, taking care to work around her pretty shrub already in bloom. It was a bit too wet for mowing but I managed to use a shovel and shears to clear the path leading across the grass. I also removed litter and weeds from the concrete area outside the back door, making it safer and less slippery to walk on. I wanted to avoid using plastic bags for the clippings – mostly dead twigs and invasive bramble shoots – so instead I moved them to a spot underneath climbing plants at the end of the garden, where they will rot down and provide a haven for wildlife.
