Clear all the grass that grows on the paths in the middle part of the garden - no more mowing. Control by raking/tumbleweeding. About half done now. -( All paths cleared of grass but the couch grass is still growing)
Move palletbox that sits in middle of grass onto a veg bed - to make mowing simpler. (Not done)
Finish making new veg bed & green manure it with old lettuce/chard/kale seeds overwinter. (Done)
Cut back brambles around the sides of garden.(Ongoing)
Plant rhubarb in a new area. (Part done)
Lower height of fruit trees and thin branches. (Part done - cut down 4 diseased plum trees which helps)
Cut down sweet chestnut tree in middle of garden - growing too big/shade - no sign of nuts and I don't really like the anyway! (Done but stump is sprouting)
Grow more flowers. (Did some)
Take more cuttings. (Took some)
Pull up Montbretia (never ending struggle). (Ongoing)
Reduce flowerpots stash- nobody needs this many.Got rid of some but lots more to go).
