    A couple of years ago I put some into the compost heap - then I spread the compost and this happened 😂 lovely while they last though

    One of life's pleasures is pulling them out when they've gone over and seeing how much space you have to plant other things. Pulling out overgrown geranium mac. and slicing gone over pulmonaria at the ankles is up there with it too😊

    I used to shake the seeds along each side of the path up to the veggie plot when I cleared the plants out of the borders and carted them off to the compost heaps.  Worked a treat and easy to keep the centre hoed clear.

    No such path in this garden but I'm nurturing the plants I have and will find somewhere to make a similar show.
