Genie took the initiative, and started weeding yesterday. Well, that's where we started. We removed the ancient and crumbling lid from the old compost bin, though 'bin' hardly describes it: a stone and brick edifice built to last. I got halfway through removing a low front wall a couple of years ago. Pippy wanted to build a summer house at the back of the garden, and this was the first step in demolition. I didn't quite see the logic of having a summer house looking onto the veg plot. Now I understand that this is a good place to escape the domestic environment, away from the house, a sun-trap and the part of the garden that gets the most attention. During our coronavirus lockdown I've appreciated this hideaway too. But I don't think I'll be building a summer house here now.
More flowers, are coming into bloom. Peony:
A standard rhododendron. This is looking a little worse for wear, and maybe suffering from too much competition. I'll try to remember to water it more.
A large fern is just getting going:
Lovely coloured flowers.
