Once again, this is crofter launching this last week in the June’s MM Links Game ~ and happy to cover for caslass who is recovering from a recent operation. We wish her a full and speedy recovery. In the meantime, I have been taking advantage of the fine weather to tackle the numerous weeds that have had three years to establish a firm footing in my borders virtually without interference from me!
Needless to say, I move at a slow pace as I try to remove every trace of roots from buttercup and dandelion. Mrs Crofter calls it “namby pambying”, but I see no point to allowing the same weed to regenerate itself if I can avoid it! I have been tracing a mole tunnel back through the border as I go. Eventually, I shall trace it back to the meadow boundary, where the moles enter my garden. There I shall set my mole traps!!
