As planned I dug-up, then moved and replanted the perennial cornflowers (shown below) and sedums during the week.
I also weeded, then hoed, the main flower patch. Yesterday I worked my way round all the plot edges. It was a bright and dry morning, but rather chilly so I wasn’t surprised to find that I was the only person on the site, and even the robin didn’t come and say hello as it has done most mornings recently.
Needless to say I’m well pleased with the way that it’s all looking and is now ready to start planting and sowing later this month. This picture shows most of the plot except for the comfrey plants and raspberry bushes which are off the photo on the right-hand side.
Take care, and have a good week!
Wow, that looks amazing, you are so well ahead of the game, very impressive, certainly puts me to shame. Am looking forward to seeing your plans unfold over the next coming growing season. Have a good week, going to be mostly dry but chilly here l believe. X

It’s looking immaculate. I imagine it’s very satisfying to have everything in such good order at the start of the season. Lots of repotting and top dressing of pots here. I also took out a couple of grapevines which are always hard to control and replaced them with a wisteria. Have a good Sunday Flighty. CJ xx

Ah, so three large beds – they did look big! We’ve gone for smaller raised beds to keep groups of crops in defined spaces…
