Good morning/evening Mum
Hope you are both well. Was in the garden last weekend and again for a bit last night. So good that there is sun in the evenings now...
First (for mum really), here is a picture of the back garden. Not the best picture, but you can get an idea....
Ok, last weekend I did the second bit of pollarding and trimmed back the marauding rose bush. There's a stack of stuff for Camden Council to collect when they come. Trouble is the weeding and the pruning can fill a sack in about half an hour. They're coming on Friday, but just from the hour and a half yesterday, there loads more than they will take.
Yesterday was quite fulfilling really - I attacked the worst patch of Nemesis weed there is in the back garden and I think I can confidently say I was the winner. It was the bit up by the steps in the back. I didn't even realise there is a big rockery thing there! Tommi came out to have a fag and said he couldn't even see the difference (b*****d!)...
I moved all the rocks and got the nemesi(?) out from under them and I got some up from between the paving slabs. This side of the garden will be done in a couple of hours now I reckon.
QUIZ
I reckon this could get a bit boring as I will be weeding for a while, so while we await more exciting stages in the garden, I'm gonna give you a competition...
It's called name the weed!
So here it is, answers on an email (or you could post comments and make me feel like a real blogger.) Winner gets respect from the green fingered community....
Until next time.....

Could you please also describe the texture of the leaves? If it's kind of soft-fuzzy, I think I have a hunch. I can only give you the name in German though ... ;-)
Yeah, they are kind of fuzzy and the stems have got these fine spines on them...
German name can still win you it....
