Roxy has her certificate for 2nd place in the school contest. She also got a prize.
She won a solar powered butterfly light and she wants to put it at the allotment 😁
How cute is that? ❤️

Before & After 🌱

Another quick trim done round at my kids' mum's. I'm happy with how it's coming on. The grass is slowly starting to look less patchy and a bit healthier each time.

Most new-build lawns are laid on pretty poor soil with very little organic matter. Over time, regular mowing can help improve things by:

• Organic matter from decomposing grass roots
• Grass clippings breaking down
• Worms pulling material into the soil
• Increased microbial activity

As this happens, the top layer of soil gradually becomes richer and better at holding water and nutrients.

It's not a quick process and can take years to have a significant effect, but as the lawn thickens and holds moisture better, it creates a much better environment for overseeding and filling in those bare patches.

Slow progress is still progress. 👍🌱

Made a good start to weeding what will be the Dahlia bed. The slim strip has Roxy's primrose. I'm thinking the dahlia should provide them shelter through the summer.
And that strip will be where I put the plant I'm naming after my daughter. I have 4 cuttings from it coming on too (last pic). 😁

planting a kiwi plant in Cornwall.
Now you can see how set back this plant got by the slugs.
But if both these plants come to bare fruit one day, I think it makes for a much better backstory 😁

A little moment with my daughter.
It may just be a victory on a computer game. But to be here and witness her excitement and share in her achievement is amazing.
Blessed 🙏
