I have this traling weed growing everywhere in my borders and lawn so ive sprayed it with weed killer before anything starts growing or did i do wrong ??

I am getting all my seeds to grow in decent seed soil in the greenhouse this year so i have ten trays ready for when it gets warmer

I found a bulb in one tub goodness knows what that is

I tided up the other border were the monbretia has died off

What is the weed, joysie? Can you post a photo of it so we can help?

On the subject of weedkillers, last autumn I bought one of those new 'gel' weedkillers, and it went missing.

On Saturday I bought a new one, and of course I found the old one on Monday!

I also spotted a dandelion right in a clump of Phlox - ideal for that.

This is an annual and would not require weedkiller.
