Now that it's stopped raining for five minutes we've been able to get outside and try and reclaim parts of the garden. With so much rain and warm weather the grass and weeds had grown so much it was ridiculous. The driveway as you came in was a mess, a few days ago we tidied the entrance then made our way clearing grass from the top of the wall that runs along the length of the driveway to the house. The grass had grown almost to the height of the fence!
Joe dug out the grass on the first section, we'll put some weed matting down and then get a load of river stones
The other half he's cut with the push mower for now....

In the productive garden....
The onions went in a month late and have been harvested a month late
but we've had a fabulous crop
