herbal abuse

Mrs M ordered us to cut back her grass, get rid of all the weeds at the back and front of her house and cut back the grass, which was about a foot long with her hand mower and little pair of shears, and, to remove her lavender, which was out of control.

Dom and Ivo worked hard for ~2 hours trimming the lawn back with the shears and going over it many times with the hand mower. Mrs M kept us going with water and bagging up the grasses that were being cut and raked up. The lavender was also, with regret, cut back and removed. The rosemary on the other hand was let to live, as was the catnip. We even found wild strawberries under the weeds at the back of the garden.

Lastly we got to the front garden where the little planting plot was full of weeds, 20mins of digging and ripping and it was weed-free, and there was more room for the Silver Dust to grow.
