I started trimming the hedge I share with the back footpath at home. So I've done most of one side and put it through the shredder. I've the rest of that side, the top and the other side to go. Little and often I guess.

Also the grass, all this lovely rain and relative warmth and it's away. Mower needs the exercise then!

Weeding (mainly attending to the bindweed shoots).

Today, and possibly tomorrow, (that is, if it doesn't rain), is to start tidying up the pots. And actually get round to planting my carrot, beetroot & spring onion seed tapes in the last raised bed
