A gentle week, due to poor weather and other commitments. On Wednesday we decided to mark out the edges of the lawn with an edging iron and a rope (making a circle). This was successful but the handle snapped when we hit a buried plastic bag. Took it back to the garden centre and got a replacement with no quibbles.
The rest of the week has been digging out diseased Aquilegias (mildew?), and sowing seeds in pots. I have sown Sweet Williams, Sweetcorn, Cerinthe major purpurescens, Echinacea, and Climbing beans. Another run to the dump occured so more weeds have been disposed of, as well as the remaining rubbish left by the previous owner. Finally, I started digging out the border near the path. That could take a while to finish!
Sunday
Finished weeding the area near the Gingko in preparation for sowing wildflower seeds. Seems ridiculous to be pulling up some wildflowers to make room for others, but these were particularly thuggish and pernicious (I love that word) so I don't feel too bad. Oh yes, I disturbed a wee common frog too. Very exciting!
