I've been weeding my rockery - trickier than it sounds as everything is so tiny and many 'proper' plants could just as easily be weeds - lots of umming and ahhing.

Been busy in the veg garden. Dug up 2 trugfuls of bindweed, a load was in the sweet pea and cut flowers bit. Where did it come from? Wasn't there last year. All ready for sowing and planting. So far only has broad beans and mange tout peas in it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Been mulching weeding and beheading primroses trying to keep them going as long as they will in the front troughs then going to make a big area around the trees on the bank of the stream(dyke) prepped the area all ready for them . Off to the GC now to buy plants to finish off the baskets as t+m let me down .the sun is still shining so maybe able to do more when we return .
Hello all , busy day in garden and still back lawn to do , just having cuppa
Potted up couple of plants got from g/c less than half price , they where only slightly damaged , bargain
Potted up another potatoe sack for greenhouse Colleens , never grown theses before ?
Bought a fire dustbin from Aldi £14-99 , they where £32-00 at B&Q , got loads of woody material from trimming trees on beck bank so decided to burn it , can always take dustbin up to allotment when finished
Been shopping.... bought an evergreen honeysuckle and a climbing rose (Little Rambler) for the new planter which my husband will make this weekend (!), and a euphorbia and another rose (Charles de Mills) for my new border near the house. Meant to pick up a different one and got distracted - hopefully it will do ok!
Good prices though - big 4L shrubs and the roses are big and vigorous already - £29 for the four.
Did little in the garden, although I did put another coat of paint on the new water feature...

Been encouraging old ferns to throw out fresh growth, so the last of the tatty old fronds have been removed this morning. Light floods in.

Have a good day everybody
I thought you went brown, because you didn't wash.
