I set out tidying up and turning over the soil. Having never done any gardening before really i still dont really know what iam doing. I went to the hardware shop thing next to forfars up at fiveways. It is brilliant. i got enough grass seed to do our small lawn for £1. I also got a lovely big Lemon Thyme for £2.95.


I sprinkled the seeds all over my new turned over patch. I waited two weeks and there are finally little tiny hairs of grass poking through. On the first day the seeds were down i went out to water them only to find a black bird methodically eating all the seeds. hopping up and down the garden. I had to get right up to him to stop him and as soon as I had stopped watering he was back out there. Then there's Louis. My little dog. He has been running all over it for the past two weeks. I was loosing hope that any grass would appear. It was amazing to see the tiny green strands. Magical!


I think from what i have read online that I may need to patch it up and over seed. I dont think I have enough seeds. I may try and find another type of grass to mix in there.
hmmm....
what else can make a garden nice??
