I hope your neighbours didn't have the washing out on the line :(

I've just cut the grass - again. It must stop growing soon.

I think the non-growing season is now 23 to 25 January if the last few years are anything to go by.
I'm cutting mine weekly which also gets all the leaves from our maple - bought for our 25th anniversary and now as tall as the house. Added bonus - the leaves pee off the neighbours. :twisted:

I actually don't mind cutting the grass. We have three one hundred foot plus Lime trees, and they produce a lot of leaves and twigs. My neighbour at the rear of the garden (forty seven years my neighbour) who has no trees, told me recently she picked up eighty three twigs!!! Not eighty two or eighty four - eighty three. Leaves require one trip a week to the council tip - a few more trips and then it should be over - until next autumn.

Too wet here to mow even though the grass is about 3 plus inches tall. I have council owned Oak and Maple trees next to my rear garden fence plus their Hornbeam hedges, and each year we collect many, many (Hundreds of Thousands I suspect?) leaves all of which go in our Green Waste collection bin and taken away at our expense by the same councils green waste collect service. But this year most will go over the fence back onto council owned land as I'm fed up paying for a green waste bin and in Autumn its mainly full of their leaves. Will shortly have to pay to have the front and rear house gutters cleaned too, as their tree leaf's seem to love collecting in them!! :evil:

Next doors leaves slowly carpeting our back garden. When they are all down it may get a haircut.

I'd ask for a quote for fitting gutter guards... it's probably worth it over a couple of years of cleaning them out...
