Star of the show this week is the Aruncus. The rain has made made it flop but now it is flowering I don't mind though some of the plants around it do.

Lovely Geoff!

I have one plant that's been in the ground for about 20 years. It comes up every year, but the shrubs around are now so big, I can't see it anymore!

Made a good impact on the weeds today, but no doubt they will be back as this is the third time I have weeded the asparagus & back beds but it could be sorted if the plots opposite did some weeding. One is excused as his wife had recently died & I will pop over there with my hoe when I finish my plots just to do a quick tidy for him. I saw him in the supermarket & he is coming back.

Going down on Wednesday to finish the last few beds & hopefully with the warmth & less rain they might be more controlled. One good thing was I found today was loads of strawberries hiding in the weeds that the slugs & birds missed! That's it for now for this end as got to get back to the other beds. Not one lettuce has showed still, they start of fine & then just give up & wilt! I'm going to re-sow the next ones in amongst other beds & plants, shouldn't upset any thing else as I mostly grow tom thumb as small & no wastage. Anyway will see! Final bonus was local news says some light overnight rain for a couple of days here so can get cracking straight away without getting the hose out!

Think all the posts over the last few months, from new members, have all been checked in one go, then released!

Have been busy making raised beds. Hopefully expense and effort will pay off long term.
