Another space cleared.

Another space cleared.

We dodged the showers and weeded and cleared over the weekend.
Gone: 'Westerland' rose planted too close to the arch, 2 hebes that were woody and loads of weeds.
Discovered: Astrantia maxima and Dicentra spectabilis which I had lost sight of in the muddle.
Now replanted and mulched (with spaces!!)

Well done Anjet , Another trip to the garden centre to fill the gaps :o))

Amy, I don't need a trip to the GC, I have so much waiting in pots to be planted. Meadow is watching me beadily to make sure I don't transgress!!

Meadow, we replanted with spacing so that I can hoe round now. I ask (mentally) for your permission before I put anything in the ground!...

I'm sure the plants will soon join up, Klahanie, it's just I hope to keep the weediness under control more easily until they do!

Thanks, Paul. I weed and cut back, OH uses his strength to take out the heavier shrubs. Seems to work and we don't fall over each other!

Spaces mean planting opportunities … well done and good luck!

I'm glad you've got spare plants to fill spaces Anget because with Meadowland keeping a beady eye on you there's not much chance of you sneaking off to a Garden centre ... :o(

You’ve really achieved a lot, Ange..you must be pretty shattered after all the hard work of recent. I think it always feels quite therapeutic to have a garden ‘cleanse’.
I agree with Klahanie, it did look so pretty before, with your ‘filled to the brim’ beds and borders, but, I do understand your plans for the garden and the future..definitely makes sense.

Thanks, Sheila.

I'm definitely under threat here, Amy!

Yes, Kate, it's a bit like an untidy house - there's a level past which it becomes an irritant!

Meadow, I didn't realise you had 'Big Brother' tendencies - very worrying :-)

That sounds like a plan Meadowland , keep up the good work ..

Amy - I'm definitely feeling outnumbered here. Will keep watching over my shoulder...

Thanks, Meadow. We have a slight problem here as the green bin is full to overflowing and the Council has cut back on collections. Not sure if it will be taken tomorrow. We shall shred a lot of it to put on the compost.

Yes, collecting fortnightly is a pain. Our (brown) bin is packed to overflowing and in a day or so my gardening friend will be here to cut loads back so all the stuff may have to end up at the tip 😟.
