What’s the saying? “Trust the process”. Have to make lawns look worse before they can look better. Got so much out of this lawn with a nice deep work over. Overseeded, treated and now the rain has come to do the rest of the work for me. Ralph’s first birthday yesterday and he was a happy boy 🥰🥳

So scarifying season is upon us. Have to make things look worse before they can get better. After a terrible summer rain and heat wise the lawns are ok considering. Lots of work to be done but they will be full and a lush green in no time 💪🏽 Still in hospital with Leah but she’s improving so hopefully not too long left 🏥 Take care, Scott 👍🏻

On Thursday the 3rd we welcomed little Leah via C-section. It’s been a difficult time spent in Southampton and in Basingstoke but she’s improving well. Slowly getting her strength up so she can feed from a bottle consistently and then it’ll be home time 🕰️ Thankyou all for your patience over the last 3 weeks we do appreciate it. She’ll be strong enough to help on the lawns soon 😉😂 Take care, Scott, Beth and Leah ❤️

Back to work this week after a pretty horrid 3 or so weeks. Grasses have done the best they can with what rain we did get. Have been spraying lawns this week, should help them get ready for an autumn overseed and scarify. Take care, Scott

This morning it popped up on my feed that I’ve been gardening for 7 years now. Time flies, the business is ok and my body is getting there now again. Infusion day today and for once I feel like I could go without it for a few weeks more. Take care and have a great Friday 👍🏻 Scott

Very glad I upgraded the hedge cutter when I had the chance. So much lighter and less vibrations for my hands now 🌳 Maybe a bit of rain this week but not enough to make any difference in the lawns. Infusion Friday and I think for a change my colitis isn’t getting worse (touch wood anyway) Having trouble with my Achilles in both legs but I have a feeling that’s my new work shoes. Go back to the old ones and see 👟 Take care, Scott

Not too much going on. Just general weeding, dead heading and hedges really. Another dry summer and the lawns are gone mainly now. Poppy (the dog 🐶) has been doing her rain dance to no avail. Stay cool, Scott 👍🏻

Some rather burnt lawns. Greenhouse is doing well and the cucumbers taste great this year. Have a good week, Scott

I’ve no clue what to say about the weather recently. Everything is in desperate need of rain now including me 🙃 I’ve done as much as I can this week but last night caught up to me body wise. Take care of yourselves in this heat, saying that….its much easier to sit in the sun than it is to work in it. Scott

Certainly been a hot one so far and it’s due to get even hotter. Please take care in this heat and drink plenty. I’ve been working the mornings mostly but tomorrow and Thursday have a red warning. Few lawns done on a high cut to keep them green during the heat ☀️ Also picked up a cylinder mower with a scarifier attachment too. Needs some work but I’ll get it going ready for autumn lawn care 👍🏻 Take care, Scott
