After two days of showers, the veg plot is mainly weeded, and seedlings started. So looking for something to do, I tackled the 'Shagmonster' a much neglected 'ornamental' grass. The middle of this bush is it's own mini compost heap, and harbours brambles . Since most of the dead leaves were in the centre, the end result of extracting a wheelie bin's worth was somewhat underwhelming.

Tool of the Day:
Mum-Monica's Rake. Still in good condition after at least 60 years of use, and unlike Trigger's brush, it's still on its first head and first handle. The end tines are bent inwards from decades of Monica knocking it on its ends to clear rakings. Would I straighten it? No chance!
Astonishing that the rake is still on its first handle too. Particularly as your Mum obviously knocked it around a bit.
