Thank you it gives me great enjoyment and lots of bad looks from she who must be obeyed haha

I remember jeff capes being filmed on a farm we worked on we were pitching hay bales on trailers on the Moors he wanted a go and managed very few he was good at what he did but no staying power

And I suppose that task is now done by a tractor with telescopic forks?

Question:

I’m not a gardener! Since I’ve been on my own I’ve had a lot of scrubs taken out and flower beds stones over. This saves the annual cost of a gardener. However, it does look a bit bald in places.

About six weeks ago, a friend and I over-seeded a large patch with ground cover, mainly Alyssum and a thyme plant of some sort. I’ve just wandered out there and it’s all growing very well.

I’m wondering what to do on other patches. Can anyone recommend low ground cover plants that can be sown in the August/September period?

Thanks. There are some very attractive varieties available online but it's too late to seed the garden with them this year.

Been watching this chap fending off bees for an hour or so dawnie had to take a close up for me

It's a butterfly and seeing it fend off the bees is rather spectacular on a big tv

Fair few flower heads to bloom
