For those of you who are not familiar with the blog, I started a weekly challenge when we got back from our holidays in the middle of May.  Here is the original post about the challenge.  Each Monday I add 4 things to the list that I want to get done.  They are usually one-off things rather than everyday chores.  This week the challenges are ones which relate to outdoors and the garden.  They will mostly involve some input from The Duke.
