Yesterday I managed to lift off the plastic compost bin, and re-locate it to the side of the willow, there are three more to also move, hopefully, before the weekend. Then darling Husband can give me a hand to move the big boy Hot Bin over as well - that folks is going to be a task and a half, but I really don’t want this working area to be as discreet as possible.
I also made a start digging over the bed in front of the new fencing, but called a halt after scraping off some of the carefully back-filled Earth done by the eldest kid as the bottom panel, and more importantly the gravel board need to be painted.
If it stays dry this evening the darling one will paint it for me, if not that will be tomorrow’s job, as I still need to top off and backfill the wall with large stones so that I can start to plant up.
The Cotinus in the pot is auditioning, if it stays there it will probably go further back, but nevertheless it needs a home somewhere. That is definitely the problem with being a plantaholic, a new home for something or other is always required.
Having ground to a halt here, I moved on to weeding the top bed, which has expanded massively, but was sadly neglected last year. Plenty of the grass that shall not be named, Dandelion and Buttercup to pull. It’s a behemoth of a task.
I know there should be no shame in the garden game, but it is not looking good, or at least, it’s looking better than it did. A rock is marking the spot where a small water feature is going, and so I will have to work around that as a Buddleja has self-seeded at the back, and needs to come into the sun. There are a couple other inappropriately placed shrubs to move. I have enough Shasta Daisy plants to sink a small ship, which are desperate to go somewhere, so expect to see at least three there.
I need to watch my time outside today, as I managed around over 4 hours yesterday, and over did it a bit. The problem is I forget the time.
Hugs
