We plough the fields and scatter...

This is a week out of date unfortunately but if I'm going to do this sunflower thing properly I should have an entry from the beginning. After Friday & Saturday's shenanigans, we recovered from post-birthday hangovers with an afternoon of intensive gardening.


Sunflower seeds were planted in beds and pots (along with a few in indoor pots in case of any freakish late frosts).

Last summer I waged a one-man, largely unsuccessful campaign against local pigeons. This year my targets are sighted on bindweed. Man, that stuff is incredible! I expect that I'll return to that topic again before too long.

And how better to end the day than with a bonfire! Splendid. Bay leaves go up a treat. Not sure my neighbours were too impressed though - I only noticed after lighting it that they had some washing out....oops. I think CP was a little concerned at one point too - she had a bucket of water on standby in case things got out of hand.
