Pilates this morning, then the allotment to weed, water, pick some celtuce for green smoothie and collect some planks to make edging in Kate's garden, which I'm giving a make over. It is taking me a lot longer than it takes those people on TV. I've done the side bed until autumn, when I'll put in more plants.
After lunch I went to Kate's and made a start on the back border which is full of weed and a bit of a mess, the aim is to reduce the size of the bed, level the soil which is very high at the back and grass it to make a much smaller bed. either of the 'after' pics is my happy pic for today.

I dug down to sink in the edging plank and used the soil to help level the area to be grassed. It took me ages because the soil is full of tree roots and stones and is very hard, but already it is a lot more level. The right hand corner needs a couple of low branches trimming from the lilac tree but I wasn't up for that today, next time maybe.
Green smoothie for tea :)
