I weeded and spread coffee on Bed 9. While I was working there was a lot of bird activity in the tree and when I looked up at the sound of some insistent peeping, I saw a couple of long-tailed tits flying in and out of the tree.

I have cleared the corn cockle and nigella from the trellis bed, along with a lot of the trellis bed. Anything big that’s not at the back needs to go. There’s a lot more weeding to be done, but the big obvious stuff has gone.

The mole may have pushed through a bit at the side of the pond. I’m not sure the pond is built for longevity, but hopefully it’ll survive a while longer.

I transplanted a clump of physostegia that I’d dug up weeks ago and used some soil that I’d kept from mole excavations  to fill it in.

There are all sorts of volunteers already coming up in the garden, including this sea of foxglove seedlings which clearly needs thinning and moving around. The nasturtium that appeared in the compost heap is also getting bigger and bigger. There’s one flower on it, but the rest is just leaves.
