For those of you not following me on Instagram
here is my garden progress
To see before picture go HERE
This is what I have done so far
*Laid Pavers, this not only gives easier access to back of border and stops the kids walking on plants, but it also divided the border into 3 sections which was a much more manageable project
*dug up weeds, pulling out roots
*dug up plants and cleaned the roots (removed entangled weed roots)
*Split large plants and moved them
*Moved other plants
*Planted new plants including Lupins, Foxgloves, Daisies, Penstemons, Peonies (although these take a few years to flower) and delphiniums
*Applied chicken manure
*Put down bark mulch between plants to try and discourage weeds
Here it is Mulched
I have seedlings planted of Cosmos and Larkspur
which i will plant out early June
Looking forward to a blooming marvelous summer

That must have been hard work; I'm particularly impressed by cleaning the roots. I hope to have a sea of poppies and lavender myself this summer after all my digging efforts.
