Attacked the "rockery" - a fanciful name for a pile of big rocks in a roughly semi-circular shape. I first "built" it over the roots and stumps of some spindly conifers that had been cut down. If you can't remove something, cover it over to hide it.
It used to be a pretty herb bed but, the ever present montbretia has crept in and swamped anything attractive. My plan is to remove all trace of the montbretia, stack the rocks at the back of the mound in a vague dry stone wall shape and lower the height of the soil in front of it.
If I can acquire some slabs, I might pave it ........who knows?
A Scarlet Tiger Moth, resting on a montbretia leaf stopped me from finishing the uprooting. Maybe tomorrow it will have moved on and I can have another crack at it.
