So I’ve lined up my pots ready to plant my summer border seeds! #gardenrestorationblog

You have no idea just how bad this smells... #gardenrestorationblog

Night is falling. I can definitely see an improvement now. Happy! #gardenrestorationblog

The iris and lilies are planted! I’ll have to keep a watchful eye for the snails… #gardenrestorationblog

As well as the wild geranium, I’ve planted out lambs ear and a cyclamen. Hope they survive. #gardenrestorationblog

The border is progressing! I’ve unearthed a LOT of rocks too… #gardenrestorationblog

Today I unearthed several bright green caterpillars. I put then back under cover…. It was suggested to me by @bugmanjones on Twitter that this is probably a caterpillar of the Angle Shades Moth. This is a beautiful, brown, leafy-looking moth so I'll be looking out for that one later in the year! #gardenrestorationblog

An unexpected visitor today. A ****s resting beneath a rhododendron leaf. #gardenrestorationblog

Exciting times! It’s looking like an actual border now! I have some potted heather that may be too far gone to save…. I’ve planted it out just in case! #gardenrestorationblog

Well, I’ve taken out a lot of plastic buttons, weeds and stones and I’ve planted a wild geranium near the buddleia. #gardenrestorationblog
