Various bits of tidying up today; the main one was digging out the remnants of last year’s plants from the bed by the side fence and lightly turning the soil with a hand fork. I’ll give the birds a few days to pick over it and then scatter some compost over the top as a start on condi...Mostly Cloudy 10°C / 50°F -

The weather has been very pleasant this weekend and we have spent some time working in the back garden.

My Tragopogon pratensis (Goatsbeard) seedlings are tough little things. I managed to let them dry out on the paper towel where they were chitting, which put an end to the first few seeds to sprout. However, a couple more came up – these have now been transferred into a module in the polytun...Rainy 21°C / 70°F -

What could this plant be? Helianthus something?
Heliopsis helianthoides and Front gardenI was given this plant by my brother about ten years ago, with a clump dug up from his garden, and it has travelled with us through subsequent relocations. I used to call it Rudbeckia but, having become a bit more plant savvy, I think the leaves are wrong and it looks more like some kind of Helia...Rainy 21°C / 70°F
