Nice temperature and clear and still, so better day for gardening here for me Mckha, mosquitoes thought so too though and I did have those little ankle biters around me in the morning, a bit breezy and cooler on Monday. Also had the company of our lovely fantails as I stirred the insects along with chorus of resident tui and a grey warbler sharing my sanctuary
Quite secluded for a residential area with being back a long driveway from the main road and lots of trees on 1/2 acre, I do realise and appreciate that it really is paradise at the moment, so rather guilty pleasure when others are cramped for space.
Grass is beginning to green up a little but not much growth yet after the dry and leaves beginning to fall. For many years we've been getting a garden bag service, which was a good service and price, now the service has deteriorated and price escalated. March pickup was running late ... again, ( they messaged beginning of month before any restrictions ) every time I checked online account they put forward the pickup date by another day until it disappeared mid month and next pick up April ! ... Only online contact and more delay then an unbelievable and poor excuse from a lazy driver who reported no access, however my response was that if that wasn't rectified I'd be an ex customer this time. I was a bit sceptical that the promise of collection and replacement bag would come within the week ... and lo and behold it did!! On a Sunday as well, 29th. Very pleased, except now I have to make sure I fill it before the April pickup due 6th
Some seedheads and woody stuff and cuttings not going in the compost went in today.
