This week it was the turn of the back garden to get a makeover. The lovely John Sigsworth who is my friend Gill's gardener and who helps us with the vegetable plot came over with his tree uprooting tools! Out came very large bay tree which was dominating the bed and masking sun from one of the garden seats. I have a small bay tree in a corner of the garden so won't be short of bay leaves. Also turfed out where a large acanthus and various other plants that had got overgrown and tangled. All the good plants have been carefully laid aside and just one remains in the ground, a Euphorbia which has a lovely honey scent. It's been cut hard back so hopefully it will grow back into a better shape. The rest of the bed is now empty and John will return this week to dig it over and remove all the little roots. So, a bare bed and a lot of decisions to be made about a new planting plan! Exciting!
