Green and greener, watch it grow

Hello again
The rate of growth of plants in our garden is simply breathtaking. You can almost watch things grow these days.
It's quite hard work to keep the weeds in check. The butterbur is particularly tenacious...... it even grows right through the top-end of the tar path.In some parts, Graham has been using the strimmer. In other areas, manual eradication is more
appropriate to protect desirable plants and to try and keep the weeds out for good.
A clump of some kind of calla has been "liberated". It is already in flower.
But a few wild rose shrubs still need a helping hand to get rid of "sticky willy" and bindweed.
