The sun is back

Hooray the sun is back today. This morning my back was aching so I didn't think that I would get much done in the garden today. However I thought if I avoid bending then I should be okay. My first job was to hold the ladders for Colin who  was cutting the tree on the top terrace. Its a type of fir tree that has been shaped, Although we have an electric saw it is not easy and my stomach turns as Colin balances on the top of the steps. He has managed to get to most of the tree but the very top is impossible to reach.
Once that job was completed I decided to cut the grass. I love this job because the grass always look so neat and tidy. I had a wander around the veg plots and everything seems to be okay although my cabbage seed have not sprouted yet and I cant remember where I have planted the aubergines seeds.  I wonder if the ants have taken the cabbage seed, Perhaps I will plant some more and also aubergine seeds. One veg plot is completely covered in ants which is really annoying. Whilst I was standing still the little buggers got inside my trousers leg and started to bite me. Although the ant powder works in the short term the ants just seem to re route. I have tried many things to kill the ants but I think the only way to really get rid of the is to find the nest and pour boiling water in it.. The nest tend to be quite deep in the soil so its not easy.
