🐌Just Weeding again 🌿🤗🌿🐌

 Not a lot to show you today . ☀️While the sun shone yesterday I gave the labyrinth it's third cut of the year and already it is looking much better .  

Today the weather is on the turn yet again . Very damp and mizzley .🌧️🌧️

I am tired after all the gardening I did yesterday . 

 I try to do a little bit everyday .

 I covered the Dahlia bed with some earth , mixing in some chicken pellets to give them a bit of a boost . Some of the tubers had become exposed after all the torrential rain . I should have given them a much thicker mulch back in the Autumn .....but that was when I had my spine injury  and I had no choice but to let go .

 Then I started to try and rake out the weeds growing through this Aloe . 

You may remember I did work on this bed back in the Summer .

Using this rake tool was useless , I ended up on my hands and knees  , to pull out miles and miles of Ivy and the occasional ouch... bramble .

 I don't wear gloves ....but I may have to go back in with gloves and actually  I think I will have to go back in and prize the bramble roots out with my big garden fork .

Annoyingly the brambles have chosen to grow right on the edge where the bed meets the lawn !

 I'll sort that out tomorrow . 

                    Ivy so hard to get to ! 

Big heap of weeds , which I have left on the lawn  to wilt . 

 I'll pick them up tomorrow .

I pulled off a couple of pieces that were beginning to walk across the lawn .

Just look at those gorgeous roots !  

 Gorgeous !  🤩

I will probably plant this somewhere else in the garden .

I got several pieces that I can make cuttings from to give away . 💚 They have lovely flowers in the Summer which butterflies and the bees love   🦋🐝🐝🐝

Meanwhile in the woodshed .......

......everything looks a little sad to say the least .  The Musa ensete maurellii is beginning to wake up after I gave them a little water the other day .

They wont be planted out until May , but can start into growth again now undercover .

This too looking very sad , I will start giving these a drink and some plant food soon .

This is/was a Peony ...... 😱........

....... but look !   There is a beautiful new shoot coming up in there !  🤩

More Agave americana variegata  . They have been kept dry over Winter , no water at all . I will repot these with fresh compost and later on I'll show you how they soon plump up and double in size .

So there we are , no pretty pictures to show you today I'm afraid .

The weather update - so now ,  🌧️it is forecast to rain and be mizzly forever ! 🌧️ For the next two weeks anyway .  🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

                       Great !!   Easier to pull the weeds out !  🤗🌿🐌🐌

                                 Peace and Love  🩷
