Have spent several happy, if monomaniacal, hours going another round with what passes for Brian's flower bed. Last year was spent getting to know the unfamiliar plants in it; this year will see the destruction of everything that is hateful in my sight. Of which there is a lot.

Tonight's specific campaign was against the rosebush, which you can see the base part that was planted and it still looks tolerably fine (or would with a bit of pruning), but the rootstock has gone all Third Reich and sought lebensraum in every direction. It is pernicious. And the gloves I had were insufficiently thornproof. But it's mostly eradicated, with only the main bush and one or two sturdier client-states next to it remaining.

Then we bought twelve bags of mulch, which barely fit in the car.

Yes, I love love love to work in the garden and this is the perfect time of year for making major changes! Feh on housework when we can garden instead!
