There is a local weather station in Clevedon and it recorded double the average rainfall for the whole of February, which will come as no surprise to anyone living here.
The rain has continued into March, but a dry day today so a gardening opportunity. Weeding.
There was one main culprit to clear - Lords and Ladies, the wet conditions must be its ideal conditions.
But from seemingly nowhere there were two very long brambles, which had rooted at both ends. Fortunately with the ground being so wet it was a bit easier to dig them out roots and all. The thorns were vicious though.
An ivy growing on a wall was another unwelcome plant which took some removing.
Finally for today were three Himalayan honeysuckles already well established in between a gap in the wall and path. They look a bit gloomy to me, a bit funereal. As the stems were hollow, I left about six inches of stems on each plant and poured a bit of weedkiller into the stem.
