finished the raised bed I made, emptied all the compost from the containers in, will need to top up now with topsoil and more compost and paint everything including the wall also redid the dustbin shelter as it had collapsed in places where the wood had rotted. I think I'm going to lose mums Acer, it started to come into leaf but they have started to shrivel, I had thought it needed watering, but now realise that it is waterlogged, I've lifted it off the ground to let it drain but I'm not holding up much hope, really upset as it was quite an old one

ooh I wonder if my plug plants arrive this week too. Were they of good quality Grindle? most of them were good little plants, just the odd casualty which I expected and good root system so fingers crossed Finished taking out the celandine, no doubt it will be back next year cleared the saxifrage from around a shrub and dotted some in hard to grow places, cut the grass and reseeded the worst of the bare patches

potted up the 72 plugs that had arrived, then went back to fighting the celandine, I think I'm losing the battle as it's quite a damp area in the winter I've lost all the Heucherellas that were there but have found some roots that just might survive so I've potted them up and put them in the greenhouse to see if they amount to anything. The Saxifraga stolonifera will need culling in that area too, I love the spring flowers but it can be a thug
