This September sunshine has had me out laying waste to ground elder so that I can get some annual seeds planted today. I fancy the notion of hollyhocks towering over the boundary so have finally cleared out the strip next to the drive - the ground elder there has been mocking me for the past two years and I've always had better things to do than invest time in revenging myself upon it. Today was that day and now the evil white roots are stacked in bags and buckets, waiting to go to the recycling centre (one reason I never use council waste compost!!).
Also sowed scabious, sweet williams and ragged robin in the greenhouse - am also going to try to get my hands on some larkspur to fling around the place.
Laid waste to the cherry laurel hedge down the left side - chopping the top two feet off has really let some more light in. Just have to finish the patio end of the hedge now and the bit right down at the bottom. Grrr - there's just so much of the damn stuff to bag up afterwards. Still - I feel like I've really achieved something today so can enjoy my well earned beer.
