Garden Diary

Lay new turf in any bare patches in lawns. If sowing seed keep the ground well watered. Divide irises and plant bulbs. Trim hedges.

I have a go at digging out all the moss and weeds from the front lawn but get a bit carried away and end up with huge bare patches. I scatter a box of miracle grass seed which promises an emerald-green lawn up to your waist in two weeks, but every bloody bird within a five-mile radius then descends and takes its place in the formation pecking-team hoovering up the seed. Alfie and I make a scarecrow using a pair of his old pyjamas, but the flaming birds are delighted, and adopt it as their new team mascot, perching on it for rests in between meals. I end up buying black netting and pegging it all over the garden, while the birds sit on the fence and sulk, but it works. Now all I need to do is remember to water it, and we might have a new lawn one day.
