    Strawberries preparing

    The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.

    Dying Privet Hedge

    As well as the Lonicera nitida another which may do well is Griselina - evergreen, quite fast growing and doesn't appear susceptible to disease.

    Is this some sort of celandine?

    @Palustris I'll wait for it to flower. It's wedged itself between a geranium and a veronica. If it behaves like the lesser jobs, it's unlikely to do any harm.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.
