I had grand plans to plant out beans of all sizes, give tomatoes away and generally work in the veg patch. Then I saw all the bluebells going to seed in the flower border and remembered my resolve to dig them out. So spent the day digging, sometimes with keyhole surgery precision, to get rid of them. Not completely successful as some of the bulbs were two spades down, those ones will have to stay in the hope that pulling the leaves off will weaken the bulbs (some hope). The upside is I now have some bare soil space for planting out some of the flowers I've grown this season, penstemon, helichrysum, schizanthus, lupin, etc.
