Bog, squelch, mire and muck....
08:03:00....words to sum up last week
While the weather is being less than helpful and clumps of mud the size of- oh, I don't know- hippos, have been tracked in and out of the house, huge progress was made in my garden:
After avoiding even looking at it for weeks, I've finally tackled the large
bed of luxuriant ground elder growing along the wall, uncovering a small horde of (free!!!) allium bulbs
and dill seedlings.

From this... |
I've found a wild gooseberry and saved it from certain squishing by diggers, discovered four rhubarb crowns growing in the overgrown garden next door and tackled overgrown fruit trees.
Before. Dead limb, half broken branches and about 20 little plum suckers were jostling for space. |
Most of the plum blossom has dropped, now is the turn of some of the later pears and what I think are two apple trees. Ever notice how pear blossom smells fishy?
