Sweeties, Pies and Ginger

I was feeling at a bit of a loose end today and really wanted to just get on a do something, so I went out into the garden to start getting it up to scratch for later this summer. To start with I chopped down our holly tree as it was basically dead and looked terrible. I've left a good meter and a half of trunk as I plan to turn it into a bird table when I've got time.

While doing the tree, it started to rain a bit, but the mood I was in I didn't care and just got a bit wet. This really fired me up, so I removed some of the weed proof fabric that's been covering a half finished bed I started last year and cracked on with getting it finished. So it was off to the garden centre to buy some organic soil improver and some top soil.

I managed to get the soil improver down and realised that I'd need more top soil; since it was getting dark I decided to leave it and finish it later. So I've now started a new bed and I've gone all green fingered again, so I'm hoping I'll be able to get into the garden again next weekend to finish it.
