There is a lot going on here that shouldn't be!! Check your plants and shrubs and make sure you remove unwanted self-seeders before everything fills out. Bramble and Holly now removed.

🐸🐸🐸 There was another shorter and more slender darker frog but he hopped off.

Use your tool and cut back with the 2-3 bud rule. There is still time to get your winter prune in.

It's cold and soggy but there is always something to do in your garden. This day was one of bramble removal, and they were tangled and growing everywhere. Much pruning was done too.

Brambles 0 vs Me 20 (and counting)

My journey with this garden has only just begun and I am already hooked. Each garden feels like my favourite when I am working with it! And this one really feels like a sanctuary.

Now is the perfect time to get your brambles, Ivy and any sprouted Holly bushes removed. There is much more to be done before we start working on the borders edges and then filling them!

Everything unwanted is coming up from the roots, some require more wrestling than others.

Your roses will need a good pruning too! But don't touch your Lilacs!

Prune away this wet February. And if not you, I'd be happy to do so.

I really enjoyed playing with Bobby Robin, he was showing off and grabbing the worms.

That’s better. Done the old-school way with hand tools. So satisfying.
