I spent an hour and a half on my hands and knees, weeding hundreds of buddleia seedlings out of our gravelled parking area. I know I could use a hoe but think they'd just re-root into the ground. It's too wet to use weedkiller, which I should have used a couple of months ago.
@GWRS I think I have seen picture of them being rooted over a jar of water like a forced Hyacinth bulb, presumably then potted up later. Never tried it myself though. I believe they make quite big trees if you do get one to grow. Just managed a quick run round the lawn with the Autumn feed in the spreader during a dry spell, the rain will dissolve it in. I have already put some on a couple of weeks ago, & despite thinking I had been thorough, there were lots of pale green stripes where I had missed. So hope I have got it all covered now.
This afternoon moved 2 pots in to g/h and cut a plant down that had been damaged by the weekends winds and filled the bird feeders Had been to allotment this morning
Started sweeping up the leaves and OH mowed the lawns - it was actually dry and sunshiny today. Council strimmers arrived and strimmed the long sloping verge outside the house. They are reducing the number of times they do it, both to save money and help wildflowers flourish. I've planted daffs all along the verge near our boundary wall so hope the neighbours and early bees appreciate them. I've just realized that the small bush in the front garden I've lovingly nurtured is not a sarcococco after all but a viburnum - oops!

Found places for many plants I've created that have been sat around in pots, planted some of them.
Made a plan of garden jobs which should carry me through until Dec at least.
