        So I have the back-breaking job of digging out an 800mm border in my garden.

        During my hard labour today I came across this ‘object’…..

        What do you see?
        Any thoughts?…..

          Pretty good condition to be very old and too thick to be any type of knife. Thinking it may have been part of an old iron fence?

            @goosehd Whilst I’d love to imagine it is a weapon of some description, some kind of railing is a more logical assumption. The site has an old Victorian convalescent on it in the Gothic style (now converted into apartments) so no doubt something to do with that.
            It really captured my boy’s imagination - he went on to dig for more random finds.
            But back to the back-breaking border for me tomorrow….

                Jasmine is blooming and first few radishes already were popping along with some purple basil that needed topping. It’s my favorite part of spring.

                        Picked up a Heptacodium Miconioides (Seven-Son Flower) tree today for Mother’s Day.

                        This is what it will look like when mature:

                                          Got some more work done this weekend - everything is now in final pots or beds except for bee balm, rosemary, echinacea, and lavender I have and plan to plant as foundation plants along a side not seen here

                                          Too hot to manually dig and level the path so I’ll be renting some equipment or doing it slowly over the next few months

                                            Phase 2 is to replace all the wood chips that were washed away

                                            20240508_154326.jpg

                                            Chips come free through a program that pairs tree removal companies with homeowners who want the chips

                                            Only catch is you get an hour notice before a truck dumps them in your driveway
