Norma suggested that if I at least take off the flower heads of the weeds it would stop them propogating. So today I went round this top raised bed affair and lopped off all the tops of the weeds. That took all of two minutes, so I went back with my dandelion uprooter and got all the weeds up by the roots. After that I mowed the top lawn and dead headed the Albertine rose. Yesterday I powercleaned the front gardenand mowed the grass, so I am feeling pleased with myself. I am going to sort out someone to do some gardening for us tomorrow. I know when I’m beaten!
