Shadow

I read that the relief of sunshine in May, after such a long miserable winter, has enthused far more people than usual to get gardening. Me too. I want to be outside but the garden's such a mess that I have to do something about it. 

I've been digging out these plants which have spread woody roots under everything - hard work. I'll leave a few at the back of the flower bed but I probably don't need to; I expect there are plenty of bits of root still in the soil and they'll fight back.
