Diggin'

Rainy morning but much cooler, OH and I decided to clear the remaining bed in the front garden. I've tried to keep it nice but with the mess next door it's just impossible.

I cleared all the plants out, some for Kate's garden, some for my compost and some for the tip. Then I dug out mounds of soil, I really hadn't realised how much there would be. I bagged up 4 bags and put a large mound on the new bed by the shed.

After that we put some layers of landscape fabric down and bark on the top, it looks much neater now and will only need spraying a couple of times a year to keep next door's weeds at bay.

This last pic is my happy one for today. After that we had a late lunch and I took cuttings of Choisya, Escallonia, Box, Viburnum x carlcephalum (scented snowball) which I have growing in the garden and which I am either going to move or which need bulking up.
