Thanks @skint_spice, @Cheery_Daff 😊 It’s a big space and there’s no way I can ‘whip round it an afternoon’ as some can on the gardening thread. I use the phrase ‘nibble, nibble, nibble’ to myself to remind myself that anything can be done with steady, repeated persistence … 😊

@f0xh0les , absolutely weird …! 🤷‍♀️😂 Those dangerous, jeopardy potatoes are now baking in the air fryer to become our dinner! 

Actually did some serious gardening today 😊

Weeded the new flower bed that was created by my work’s gardeners. I am regarding this as ‘clearing the seed bed’ of weed seeds in this section for now. 

Weeded the bed which runs the full length of the front of the house (our house is long rather than deep) which we want to install wild flower turf on. Focused on perennial root weeds - so bindweed, bramble, dandelions etc. and left the self sown, pretty leaved pink flowered thing that scatters itself about here, as it is very easy to remove 😊 Again seeing this as a ground clearing / prepping activity. 

Severely cut back the cotton lavenders (santolina?) on the drive that are flopping everywhere and make Mr KK’s legs wet as he parks on that side. They need relocating really. 

Made visual list of learning points and ideas for next year on my phone via images, which I will write up this evening.  

Around this I also:
- Emptied all internal bins 
- Helped Mr KK with the tip run (rather to his surprise apparently 🤷‍♀️😊)
- Made lunch from stuff on the freezer stock list - filled pasta and pre-made sauce and added chopped fried mushrooms on top. Mr KK actually scraped his plate! 😊🤩❤️
- Put away all my washing from yesterday and turned off the airer
- Fuelled the car and remembered to ask for a VAT receipt so I can start with a mileage claim next week
- Collected my prescription 

Am a bit sore and soil covered now (keep finding it in my ears! 😂😂) but satisfied with today 😊 

Edit: Missed one. Swopped my summer and winter tops for work over 😊

Thanks for the mention of wildflower turf KK. I didn’t know that was a thing, but it might be just what we need.
