I decided every year I would buy some snowdrops in the green and keep adding to the garden. Here's this year's offering. I'm just about to go play out. The morning didn't go as planned as Mr Banks now has covid so I've been sorting out the current state of play from the hospital with what I have to do to return to work (it changes so often we can't keep up). Sorted now 😊

To be fair Elaine I did stop posting for a few months. I'm back now and feeling more determined to get the garden back under control and summer ready 💪 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Yes I think a lot go off in the winter, there’s not much in the gardens and it’s too cold….I’m pleased you’re back and looking forward to the new growing season I am…👍🏼

I got to the point where I felt a bit overwhelmed with weeds so kinda gave up. I'm fighting back now though @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I've had a terrible time with the yard grass growing into the flower beds! It will send runners under tree feet of black plastic to sprout rampantly in the beds. It has made me want to give up and let it have them! But now I see things sending up new growth and I'm determined to fight the grass for my beds back! 💪Glad to see you back Deborah

I pulled out loads of grass yesterday. It's such an annoyance. I've felt the same about it, but then I realise I can't live with it. We can definitely win the battle @lesliecole49

That's my goal for the summer, edge the beds better, tho I'll always fight the grass, I want to define my edges and get some mulching going on
