It's been raining almost literally every day for the past fortnight. If this is summer, then summer is a bit of a disappointment this year. Everything in our garden is growing like crazy. Mostly the lawn - which is too wet to mow - but the plants as well. It makes me wish that I had invested some time and money to do up our little garden last year. We've been in our rental for just over a year, and I've never really wanted to commit to spending any money on this house, seeing as its not ours, and we probably won't be here for more than a year. The back lawn and deck is such a plain, uncomfortable place to be and could do with some flowers and fence screening. Our neighbours take great pride in their garden and it is absolutely immaculate, and so beautiful. I can't imagine wanting to spend so much time grooming, mowing and watering a lawn. Phew!
Exploring pinterest yesterday I found a recipe for DIY weedkiller which involves mixing vinegar, salt and dishwashing liquid together and spraying it on weeds. Sounds simple! I'm excited to give it a go when the weather starts to improve, especially for the driveway. And I can't wait to get a new washing line threaded up. There are so many things that need to be done.. if only it just stops raining!
