Beating beastly buttercup

What a chore pulling up all this creeping buttercup is! But there's nothing for it, it all has to come up and that means huge amounts of digging, pulling and generally grappling with the stuff. I'm taking heart that the bed that "we" (lovely Jem!) did last year and then smothered with bark has actually been manageable ever since. Fingers crossed we are actually making progress then!

The bigest of all the beds is slowly coming under control - before and after pictures to come once the after is completed - and its very exciting discovering the few gems that have struggled on despite the smothering buttercup ... they don't get much better than this
