I've been busy at the patio edge this afternoon....it's several years since I really pruned and tidied all the plants but the abundance of vetch- a dreadful weed when in the 'wrong' place - was really bothering me. It has such long wandering, tangling roots so I have been removing a section at a time, teasing it out and splitting lots of the different plants that will benefit from the space, all being well. Rain forecast for tomorrow so that will be a bonus.
Three good things
1. New shelves for our garden shed..at last...and so good to have everything tidy and in place!
2. A lovely walk in a pleasant breeze and beautiful grounds at Udny Castle estate. Allan enjoyed the new route which avoids going near the occupied houses.
3. Satisfaction after a long time in the garden, leftovers for tea and a new rhubarb G&T....😊😊
Yes, we have an area which favours the growth of vetch too! It is prolific and really does tangle itself between plants, but fortunately it's not too hard to remove. You get a lot of weed for a little effort, I find. We are waiting for the rain today too. I do hope it comes because we cancelled a long walk in the Cairngorms as it was looking very iffy. We'll do a shorter, low level walk nearer to home today, I think. Trying to wear out those walking boots, so we can plant something in them, like you've done!
