Start day with weeding and tidying Exmouth square beds, now a mix of grasses, euphorbia, geraniums.

Working alongside B, a volunteer and resident who has already started and has tools prepared. Some overgrown and untidy Liriope are given a haircut to level of new young growth.
A new (to me) weed, Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) in abundance and in flower, I quite liked the look but it's invasive and 'wrong plant in wrong place'.

Weeding soon becomes lifting and replanting after I suggest using lifted plants to fill some gaps. J has some concern about watering in and the restrictions of hosepipe ban but is soon supplying buckets from the water butts near glasshouse and the lifted Hellebores, Geraniums, Pullmanaria and Liriopes are replanted within the bed.

J suggests to finish bed we edge the border with some spare pots of Liriope muscari
