The Green Green Grass of Home
If the green isn’t benefitting from the sunshine, then Ian certainly is. A couple of drier days has certainly helped dry the green a bit quicker. Another cut to 8mm took place on Monday morning, before tackling a verticut and partial seeding on Tuesday morning. The green is still soft, so Ian and David LContinue reading “The Green Green Grass of Home”
