    I tried a new technique for planting strawberries last year.
    Rather than planting them in rows I planted them all together like a sea of green. The leaf canopy, hiding the berries seems to deter the birds. However the chipmunks are being well fed, and picking is more difficult.

    Right. I've had another bonfire day. I can't find anything left to burn. I need a bath 'cos I smell like a bonfire myself.

    And I've been weedkillering once more. There's nothing growing apart from two big roses, the lawn and potted plants. The flower beds are bare earth and they can stay like that as far as I'm concerned. Less to look after and I'm not keen on gardening anyway.

    Been painting the garage. Needs another couple of hours work yet. I have to work fast, as it's water based paint that dries as I'm applying it. Should look decent once done.
