Old School Garden 
It’s certainly been an odd year in the garden – but we seem to say that every year now. I assumed that we’d missed the massive crop of blackberries that were just ripening on our local walks before we went away on holiday, but it seems they didn’t fully ripen. what a shame. I can also identify with the ‘huge crop of acorns’. Our garden is carpeted in them and yet the oaks are still fully laden with green acorns waiting to drop. Nirvana for the numerous grey squirrels.
The ‘lawn’, never a bowling green at the best of times, is a disaster, with the grass losing out to moss, perennial weeds and spongy, slimy bare patches. And I did feed it and weed it earlier in the summer, honest.
