This is the bed with all the nasties taken out except the edging and the concrete ring around that bush. This concrete ring is about a foot deep with roots entwined. I've decided I don't like that shrub enough for it to stay. The pile of dirt on the tarp is what I dug out less the cooch and vinca some of which are still in the pile on the right | ||||||||||||
| left the little Rhodi there as the cooch thinned out a lot next to the fence and Its already had a hard enough life without being moved. I'm eventually going to get new trellis up all the way along that fence. I pulled the old stuff down 'cos it was three foot deep (I didn't know the Rhodi was there) in honeysuckle and had a decided lean inwards. (There would have been a good truckload of honeysuckle on that fence when we moved in.) I've rolled the groundcover behind that shrub back a bit like turf and cut out the weed mat under it and picked out what cooch it hadn't defeated yet. | |||||||||||||

These are the poor sods I've taken out of the bed, they seem to be doing OK so far. Left back to right front:-a purple daisy, Star jasmine, Diosma, Rhodi, a self sown Wattle that I had to cut weed mat out of the roots of, some ground cover of indeterminate species and a mystery shrub in the terra cotta pot front right. | ||||||||||||

| This
is the penultimate stage of the garden bed. All I have to do now is put the
rocks back round the edge and plant things. Then next after that I have to get all the weeds out of the gravel. In the centre is the apricot and where the white tag is is the ballerina apple, to be joined in the not to far distant future by a co-pollinator. |
