I have been clearing a long bed of weeds - not an easy task.
That's what comes of leaving it too long. I could barely find my Lily-of-the-Valley and they had been swamped by the grass and nettles...
The rose hedge has got very leggy and is not much of a hedge now...
...I suppose I should have pruned it years ago. After the flowers are over this year, I'll cut it down to hedge height and hope it recovers. It has two choices.
I now have only a couple of metres left to weed - this is the next bit...
...and this is the last bit - up to my neighbour's (holiday home) fence...
We had a very heavy and unseasonal frost about a week ago that caught a lot of things that were shooting, and completely destroyed the begonia in my hanging basket. It was looking like this...
...and now it looks like this...
But in the Blue Bench garden, things were a bit more protected and the French rose is flowering well...
...and the David Austen rose Eleanore Berkeley is about to burst into bloom...
Cinders, my cat, has settled in well, and often accompanies me around the garden. She knows how to trim the grass...
... though she's not a very diligent worker...

22 degrees! I wish it were the same here, but it's cold and windy today.
Rambling Rector is a huge rose and needs so much space. I love it but never have enough room for it.
Boo to frosts. Your garden is looking good even with the weeding still to do.
