Ground Elder
After years of failing to
get rid of the ground elder we finally decided to invest in some Blue
Slate Chippings.
As an extra measure the chippings are on top of the plastic bags they came in, this should help prevent anything growing through. |

Lawn given its first cut of 2010
First Visit To Dentists in 15 years.
I began having problems with my lower right back tooth just before Christmas.
Who wants to go to the dentist with all that Christmas food, cakes, sweets etc. so decided to wait until after Christmas. As the Festivities drew to a close I began to think of our forthcoming mini holiday in Scotland so again a trip to the dentists got put off. Following this I thought of my two and half weeks annual leave at the end of March, start of April.
As my annual leave approached more excuses surfaced, Tuesday night is bingo at the working Mens Club, Wednesday night is Bingo at the Community Centre so I thought about going on Thursday. To cut a long story short Thursday came and went, then the birthdays started, Mine, Carl's, Rebecca's, Bowling night in Worcester. My tooth got worse over the 4 day Easter Weekend (Good Friday to Easter Monday) so eventually on Tuesday morning I plucked up the courge to telephone the Kingstanding Dental Centre. I was quite surprised when they offered me a choice of appointments 0930-0945-1000-1015 so I opted for the 10am slot.
Hardly surprising I will need lots of work to be done - out of at least 7 broken teeth I anticipate at least 4 extractions. Keeping this short - the dentist prescribed some antibiotics to deal with the abscess first and so treatment proper starts next Tuesday 13th April 2010.
Ground Elder
Today we took a cutting from the weeds at the bottom of the garden to Shenstone Garden Centre. This was identified to be Ground Elder |
