Digging day

It's been a good digging morning here, so I've been working on the new bed by the pond, trying to get all the old roots, Vinca and ivy out. I've managed to shift most of it - leaving some Vinca and some ivy where it was actually trying to climb the fence. I've also got the late honeysuckle and the Pyracantha planted.

Found that one of the windfall apples was actually a hibernating frog - it was uninjured though it's dignity (such as frogs have dignity) was dented. There was of course a robin who took advantage of the cultivation process to look for an easy meal.

I came in this afternoon, at which point the long tailed tits showed up and spent the rest of the day hogging the bird feeders!
