Rain has flattened the pinks and lavenders, but where the lavenders seem to have sorted themselves out, 2 of the pinks have split in the middle of the clumps and collapsed. They are a few years old and l have taken cuttings so l am fairly philosophical about it. Cut back the sections that had collapsed onto the lawn and cut the flowers off for a vase.The perfume is lovely. Also cut back hardy geraniums, deadheaded salvias and did some weeding .
Garden just to wet to do anything , hopefully better weather is coming Went Allotment for a couple hours this afternoon to harvest a few things and a bit of weeding
Mixed up some more mortar and put another layer on the side of the path and my new green bin area. Started trying to dig out the dead roots of the bamboo in the stone trough - very hard work. Had a rest, then used some ready-mix concrete to fill in a pothole but not sure I've got enough to finish the job, it was deeper than I expected.
Done some digging of raised bed in garden and adding manure ready to put up the bean canes and lots of trimming of plants taking over path ways garden bin filling up, strimmed grass yesterday
