Best part of a days work!

That's a big change already!
Hard to tell from a picture I know but it looks like good soil.

I've got the dreaded periwinkle too - it's a b****r to get out!!

Lovely dark soil.....

Don't you just love it, Meanie...head to head with some of the most pernicious plants known to man - (but look on the bright side - at least you don't have bindweed)...

Let the battle commence! And my money's on you!!!

Bon Courage! :)

or ground elder!!!

At least, not that he knows about yet, Sticki...what about Japanese Knotweed....?

Oh, the highs and lows of the 'new garden'! lol

-only kidding, Meanie! ;)

We are going to be in trouble Karen! We shall get put on weeding duties in a certain new garden!

Oh help, Sticki!!!

I've got enough troubles with new gardens! Don't encourage me! lol!

;-)

...especially if (like me) you like to be 'in control'...

...Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la............... :D

Fancy calling Primroses weeds lol ;o))
Glad to see you getting stuck in ...

I have both Japanese knotweed and ground Elder in the new garden... :((( Masses of Primroses as well but they will be stopping. Soil looks very good.

Yikes, Pim...makes me glad I've only got bindweed...that's hard enough work :((

Nicely done, I'll have to get to grips with a couple of my borders that need attention.

I've been battling with the forget me nots ever since we moved here Meanie , they still come up every year , you only have to miss one and there's enough seed scattered to fill a football pitch :o(

Thanks all!

Good luck with your weeds Pim (you'll need it)!

Some Primrose can stay (but only the yellow ones), but I don't want 'em everywhere!

Really is the wrong time to be yanking FMN's out as I'm sure to be spreading seed everywhere................

you wont forget them that way!!!

I need to forget 'em!!!

i thought so!!!

they are all over this garden as well as everyone else's round here, i just leave some of them and pull the rest up, at least they are easy to pull up.

Went to a GC yesterday for a new fork and had a quick looksee;

Perriwinkle - £5.99

Lamium - £5.99

P/roses - £3.49

Ivy - £2.99

I've chucked about five grands worth!!!!

oh heck!!! if only you had the time you could have made a fortune with a stall on the market!!!

My conscience wouldn't allow me to sell them!!

nor me

I hate to ask this - but what is are FNMs??? :/

Forget Me Nots ???

Aaah...I've obviously been away too long......!

...or maybe I need to start taking binka biloba or something... :/

if its any good let me know!!!

A good days work! can't get on my garden at the moment we've had so much rain its like a bog garden, must be the wettest 'drought' in history :-(

...same here, P...

I suppose I'll only know if it's good if I remember, Sticki!

...getting the name right would be a good start, tho'!...for 'binko' - read 'ginko' (Ooh, law, law - things are worse than I thought...!)....... :/

This could be heading that way too, although the soil is lovely!

Your getting there, good luck.....

About a fifth of this bed done now DD, but it was the easy fifth.

The soil looks good Meanie and you can see where you have been working....

The soil is rather lovely at this end of town for sure!
