Tackling yet more weeds.

Really like your new fern plant Eileen. Hope most of the grunt work is behind you and you can really enjoy your garden now.

No there is more grunt to do. Its a very nice plant but isn't actually a fern, despite what the foliage looks like. The common name is inside out flower. Its name means fern-leaf. Its in the Ranunculaceae - buttercup family. I bought 3 from a supplier in Japan and they came beautifully packed, roots washed with phyto-sanitary certificate for less than I could by 2 for in the UK.

I am quite weird as I actually enjoy the grunt, that's not strictly true I love the effect after the grunt work.

You’ve done very well, Eileen. Edges and beds looking very smart. Looks like you’ve had a pretty arduous task.
Loving all your dainty, spring flowers. Very pretty pastel colours too. Hopefully as you say, it’ll be a sewing day tomorrow for you! I’m off driving around Lincolnshire, busy day, rain will make it a bit miserable..

Looks like you've got a lot of work keeping on top of 'noxious weeds'. My name for non compostable weeds. Compost looks good, borders will love that. (I found a pair of my 'lost' spectacles when I turned mine recently.)

Never heard of 'Inside Out Flower'but I heard that about the fig tree. A fig is actually a flower turned inside out. What is the world coming to? lol.

You have done a thorough job of removing those weeds. The constant wet weather has stopped us from being able to properly tackle our weeds here.
The new narcissus looks very promising, do let us see it when it has opened out.
A few days of ' Spring Sunshine ' would be very welcome not just a few minutes!!

It's great to see the results of hard "grunt" work later, isn't it? I did a lot of grunt work on the allotments & it always paid off later!

You have some very nice flowers coming on & the garden will look very nice as we go into spring & then into the summer months!

Eileen you are the fairly godmother of the garden re transformation scenes! You might even have inspiured me to get on with sorting mine. Love that pretty lemon Hellebore!

You're really doing well clearing those area's Eileen, loving the description " grunt work " I find it helps when working on clay soil .....

Well you have certainly taken the bull by the horns....it’s all coming along nicely.......what are you eating these days...spinach?

beans on toast for breakfast, banana for lunch and lots of cuppas. not sure what tea will be tonight except I know we have some roast pork left. I'm not keen on spinach unless its in a saag curry DD2. :o))
Stera when I read transformation scenes I can hear the voice of Manny the praying mantis in Bugs life . It makes me smile.
Lincs, some of the areas are much easier to sort as I have been working on them steadily for the last 20 yrs.

I have a praying mantis pic. I'm very fond of them - all sorts of bugs. I'll post it for you and we can call him Manny.

You're doing well ! Couch grass and Enchanter's Nighshade are difficult to get rid of, so many small bits can be left in the ground unnoticed, but with perseverance you'll get there :)
