I agree GWRS, freshly picked sweet corn is delicious, with oodles of melted butter, yum.
OH continued to cut privet hedges, being careful to clear as he went along. I continued to clear one of the wild patches, pulling out as much grass root as I could manage. Far too many campions, so pulled some of them too.
Pulled up a sweet pea and a sea of oriental poppies, which finished off the bin ready for tomorrow. Then planted 80 plugs of Sorbet violas into pots to grow on. As it keeps trying to rain that will have to do.

Forgive me for asking but do you live anywhere near the women who featured on Real Gardens? She had a most impressive greenhouse and could collect seaweed by the barrow load from the beach adjacent her house. I must admit I had garden envy.
Been digging out privet and ivy roots left behind by next door's fencing contractor. The privet was on our side and they took most of it out, so once I've finished taking out the leftover bits I'll have a strip of about 18" to 2 feet of space along the back of the border. I feel a redesign coming on (or at least some taller shrubs at the back of the border to soften the appearance of the fence).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
