Talking of aerating lawns I bought a pair of spiked shoes a few years ago
"do they work" I hear you ask
Not as well as I had hoped - would be my reply
But they do provide my wife and children with some amusement when I use them!!!!!

Lovely! We're planting an apple tree shortly, not sure about raspberries though. The plum tree was heavily pruned this year and didn't produce much fruit so looking forward to next year's harvest. Who's cooking the crumble?

Hannah, my wife
We are taking it to lunch
Our old family friends (Mojo an Patsy) are having a good bye lunch for their eldest son Félix
Who goes to Oxford tomorrow
Moj and Patsy are fantastic cooks and I believe we are having pork belly
They also serve great wine
What about you

Pork belly sounds good; one of my favourites!

This little strip needs some water and some iron sulphate, but the stripes are getting straighter.

Not on the strip above, but I do sometimes use Aftercut which gives a nice green-up. I used Evergreen 4in1 once on the big lawn and it was ok, but I think I will get better results using dedicated products and the kind of long-term treatments I've had carried out above (scarification, aeration, overseeding, top-dressing). As an example, I don't intend to use any fertiliser on the main lawn because I feel the roots will be stronger if they're allowed to form naturally.

Developed a bit of a thing for lamps. Somebody gave me a tatty old paraffin lamp the other day that I’ve cleaned up. Nice new wick and it fired up giving off a pleasing glow.
