With now less than a month to go we have all but completed the projects that we set ourselves.  The under gardener has been perfecting the Arbour Seating area and I will post pictures as soon as the final touches are in place.  I am about to lift all the daffs from one area of the woodland garden to create an area of stumps, hostas and ferns.  With a problem here of ground elda, much better than last year but still some left I am going to cover the area with membrane having treated for the last of the ground elder and then plant through the membrane.  We are off to a plant sale in Saturday and I am hopeful in being able to buy the plants that I shall need to complete this area.  With this done we just have to keep the place tidy and our finger crossed for the weather.
