Hrm maybe still there was weeds all over and clumps of grass were they shouldn't be.
The front isn't really getting that much work this year, I'll tart it up abit, pull down the rotten old fence, dig the borders over by the fence (full of weeds & grass) cut the shrubs back, and plant up any other holes in the paving.
(A bag full or 2 of hardy annuals may be of use in there).

The plan for later on i think is to keep some of the paving for a small path and some heavy dense planting with wild/cottage garden flowers. We'll see how it progresses.
