The seediness of this post is unavoidable...

Apologies, but it may grow on you... I recently sowed grass seed in my back garden, after trying to eradicate the worst of the weeds, but I may as well have taken out an ad. in the local Sparrow Eaters Monthly the way they have been eating it. Feckers! Good news is that the worsening weather has made the seed wet with rain and somewhat less appetising, as well as encouraging it to germinate. I can now discern a definite "green" tinge to the garden, and live in hope of the return of a bit of a lawn! Funny how the grass always grows strongly in the plant borders where you don't want it...
