Two steps back, one step forward...

Too wet for planting over the last couple of days, so the plan has changed. The perennials grown on from seed or tiny plugs will do better in the soil than in pots, so they will be lined out in the vegetable garden. However...
...the nice clear ground left when the potatoes were lifted has now gone all weedy, with a dense growth of Creeping Buttercup Ranunculus repens at one side. So that needs to be cleared first.
And - the fence at the back of the border being planted is falling down. That needs replacing before any more work is done on the border.


The grass has been cut, which gets rid of the fallen leaves nicely. And several bucket-loads of perennial weeds with roots on, plus lots of bramble clippings, have been consigned to the garden waste bin. Only a couple of loads were fit for the compost bin.

Considering these to replace the open-fronted bins in the veg garden, which don't really work.
