<p class="has-drop-cap">After nearly 20 years of good service the tyre on the wheelbarrow went down and was knackered. The rubber had perished so there was no point in trying to repair it so I bought another wheel.</p>

<p>The front edge of the barrow is a little rusted but I'm thinking I might rub it down during the winter months and paint it with Hammerite. This wheelbarrow might become like <a href="https://youtu.be/BUl6PooveJE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Triggers broom in only fools and horses...</a></p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">The pansies that I planted in the spring to brighten the front of the house were looking a bit tired and so it was time to replace them.</p>

<p>After some research I came to the conclusion that cyclamen would do well for the rest of the year. As it gets colder I can drag the planter under the canopy by the front door and hopefully they will flower into December.</p>

<p>I've been fretting for many months about the section of garden alongside the drive. There's a part next to the fence which I consider to be "a bridge too far" and I've struggled to keep it tidy. With that in mind I've found a gardener who is prepared to take it on as a project. She will visit once a month, initially to clear it of weeds and then start a process of filling it with ground cover plants.</p>
