Last weekend - as in 4/5th April - lawn feed and weed

Some rain finally. 'Some' as in the weather forecast was for torrential rain but we only got a light overnight shower. 'Finally' as in the ground is parched; on heavy clay this is not good.

Although Mr B is, in theory at least, in charge of the lawn I took control of the spring 'feed and weed' to make the most of the first rain for weeks. Used Evergreen's complete formula and scattered on Friday 3rd April. Could have done with more rain to water it in and I can still, some 10 days later, see some of the granules. The first four cuts of the lawn after application will be put on the field side of the hedge as mulch and to avoid adding weedkiller to the compost heap.

Forcer off rhubarb and first stems harvested (twist off rather than cut btw!)
