It's cool and fresh and sunny and an ideal gardening day, so, before I start the work here are some pictures.

Wall between front and back left side gardens
The front bed, scene of today's weeding campaign
Over the back wall to the pond
Geranium with a rogue cornflower!
Lilac, oh and if you're wondering why there's a low growing conifer in the middle of the lawn it's a safety feature, there's an eighty foot well shaft under there :)
