This time is was to tackle the Ivy behind the main lawn and tidy up and rip out dead branches and plants as well as creating a new lawn edging. Idea is to plant a number of small shrubs and bedding plants along the edge. Before it was quite overgrown, hopefully now it looks a little better.
The planters all needed sorting out, planted some new herbs, cleaned the pots and threw away all the ones broken by frost:
Cleaned up the potting area, note the two hanging baskets ready for Denise to do:
Chopped the 50 year old vine right back, hopefully we'll get some decent grapes this year. Although not sure how much longer the greenhouse will last, the panes of glass keep falling out and the door is nearly hanging off:
Against the shed I put up two pieces of trellis and planted the two honeysuckle plants I ordered. Unfortunately they weren't as large as I'd hoped... Don't think they will make much of an impact before 16th June!
Some more lawn edging done. Note the patchy lawn, may have to get experts in - keep throwing on evergreen 4 in 1 but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
