Progress and planting

I was busy elsewhere for the last few days, so didn't get a lot done. I made up for it today and was outside for about ten hours altogether. It's still bright until after 11pm which is great. It was good to get a run at things and the soil arrived in the afternoon which meant I could finish some of the beds. There's still lots more clearing to do on others and much more ready to plant out. Hopefully I'll be as productive tomorrow too.

Herb Robert in the cut grass.

I found another of the Rose cuttings growing under weeds. 

Yarrow, Rudbeckia, Scabious and Catnip seedlings transplanted. 

Wildflowers planted here.

Planning the border.

The two containers out the front as growing well.

Mangetout tied up higher yesterday.

All cleared today, but needs lots more work and soil.

I took the Spinach out of here during the week.

Sunny days

Tuesday 2nd

Parsnips thinned.

More clearing with dogs.

Lots of this in the hedge beside the field now. I found out since it is native Privet. 

Wednesday 3rd

Sunflowers 

More clearing and harvesting

I spent some of Sunday and most of Monday at this bed and the others that will be for flowers. I decided to order a bulk bag of topsoil/compost mix as the soil isn't great in either bed and it might keep the weeds down a bit more too. This bed had been mostly cleared last autumn, but never finished.

Still battling reed roots.

Honeysuckle in bloom.

Monday's harvest, carrot, beetroot, chard and kale thinnings, spring onions and the first peas.

Flowers still awaiting planting.

Six months on

All of these collages show roughly the same views of the garden on 1st January, 1st April and today, 1st July.

This area has probably changed the most, it wasn't noteworthy in January or even the beginning of April:
