Digging in

Yesterday the phacelia was all dug into the ground. This was hard work - at least, it looked like hard work from where I was sitting, admiring it being done! We decided that next year I should do a better job of keeping it away from the edges of the beds - the brick edging is concreted in, and it slopes into the beds themselves, which makes it imposssible to dig close to the edges.

I did contribute as well, hoeing a few of the other beds and ripping out a lot of the weeds that were thriving in the greenhouse (the mini propagating house from Edenlite that is plonked down the end of the garden, and much loved by Bugsy as a good spot to watch birds from - she'll need it now that her phacelia forest is gone).
