Yesterday I swept leaves a bit in the garage and took out the roof of the hammock (both that and scraping off moss on the tiles were on my priority list but time ran out, so I’ll try to manage myself
I also ordered more mouse repellants - both pellets for […]

As a last effort was a start for getting rid of the Ivy and Climbing Hydrangea that suffocate the huge oaks and birches - cutting off and loosening the stems. Dragging up roots were possible
Next time, after Easter, hopefully an arborist will come along for […]

Spray flask and pellets left
Deer repellent pellets was spread all around outside the fence and on the other side of the streets (I will probably have to add at some places, I watched the pair of deer leaving the meadow yesterday morning at 5.30 am).
Most fence posts and trees around the […]

Especially note the picture from behind the garage … that was the most reveling end result of the day 🎉👍🏻
A completely full trailer went to the dump with all the debris collected since last year - inside and outside the garage & also from inside the house: plastic, cardboard, metal, chemicals […]

And I’ll take cuttings from the […]

Sorted and tidied tools hanging on the wall
And this gets another year as well.
The worst old bench … mended and painted multiple times
Bird feeder in its summer spot
At 6 pm it was still +13°C and yes .. I managed to do what I planned. The bird feeder is moved, the 2 more crucial benches got some paint (hopefully they will live another year) and 3 more benches were moved outside to where they belong. 2 more left inside […]

Weather report for Monday-Tuesday

Monday March 24 and another day of lovely spring weather, but tomorrow we get rain‼️
(It’s been awhile since last), so painting today is a good idea. I’ve kept most of the benches inside over the winter, so they are ok, but those that remained outside need […]

That deer did not find all tulips, but quite a few before I came out and found her/him an early morning. I hope my spraying on the stone walls around the edges of the patio and on the edges of that flowerbed will keep the rest safe … the flower bed beside […]

Snowdrops already in their prime
Blueberry bushes full of buds
Everything planted and replanted in late autumn seems to have survived and trees and bushes already have huge buds. I cross my fingers that we don’t get a period of deep frost in April as last year …
With some luck and lots of nematodes there will be loads […]

Revira against deer of different kinds
Back corner with low fence
Spray
I’ve had one or two occasions when a deer got in as I’ve feed the birds with apples during winter. On my tour around the edges I spray poles, gates and fence with repellent spray and also spread some Revira outside the fence. Next Thursday I get help with […]
