Gardening - 10-12th July

We have been weeding and raking. I posted a default on Parktracker asking the Enterprise team to come and tidy up the Square. Today there were 10 + of them with all sorts of machines: chain saws, weeders, cleaners, mowers, strimmers. They pruned and weeded and mowed and the Square looks spritely and better cared for now. They have also cut some of the shoots from the trees on the SE corner so the sight lines are better. Unfortunately someone has trampled the stem of one of the new elm tree which looks like it has had it.

Gardening - 3rd July - planting Gaillardia

We put in the Gaillardia plugs which have grown on nicely in my back garden. It has rained and poured since and although they have survived they do look drenched and partly flattened. We are working towards London in Bloom - Your Neighbourhood judging on Friday 13th July. Lots and lots of weeding to do as you can see from the photo of the rose beds.
