It poured with rain yesterday, but the soil in Bed 1 was still wonderfully friable. I made a good start on clearing all the weeds and bad volunteers from the bed. I’ve done about half the bed. A few of the logs from the centre pile are very crumbly now, but there are going to be some good big ones that I’ll have to find somewhere to store before at least some of them eventually go to a new garden.

As part of the weeding I found another yellow flowered plant like the one by the apple tree. Turns out that it’s common fleabane. The fleabane in my borders is Mexican fleabane.

I unearthed three foxgloves and transferred them to the front bed, along with some flax seedheads.
