Don't clean them up too much, it's part of their charm.😁 I thought about that area with a concrete? base, build on it and it will use the area well, just leave some drainage holes @TheGreenMan .😁 Either that or if not enough, use as legs for a bench.
Hi all my 1st post in months I've just been a quiet lurker this winter, I've hated it think all the COVID stuff finally got to me.
Had a potter around for an hour yesterday clearing some very soggy foliage, I cleared 4 beds before Christmas but have 3 left to asap as blubs are showing.
Added a bulk bag of waste from the neighbours into the compost (yes still obsessed with the stuff), I have 2 homemade hotbins working (kingspan lined inside a pallet bin so a 2ft square by 5ft high bin) and am managing to keep temperature's up in the high 60°c.
I have removed all the alchemilla mollis from the beds this winter as the were becoming far too dominant so I've also dug up a block of hemmeracallis and split into lots of pots to infill the spaces.
Not as such but been into town to fetch materials to make a new arch for the clematis so that's that and was very nearly tempted to buy some pots of Galanthus Woronowii but I put Satan behind me. Does that count?
Should have bought them @Uff - they are very good doers - at least down here. They are the first snowdrops to bloom (sometimes in Nov/Dec) and quite big/tall. I'd quite like to get my hands on some more.
I did another stint just before lunch - cut down old 'Lucifer' leaves and started weeding the main front bed. Threw out more allium bulbs and put them on drive for people to take away.

Happy gardening
Still doing lots at allotment , mainly pruning at moment but these strong winds have broken a couple of fence post , probably rotten anyway
