In the Garden

The buttercups were starting to run rabid over everything. All my time was going towards the house, so I hired a young man to clear at last some of them out before they went to seed. From the path, you can't see much difference,

but from the back there's a better view of the cleared ground.

The tall plant in the middle is one of many Italian parsleys going to seed. I've pulled most of its companions, but want to leave one to ensure a new crop next year. In the background is our new composter, already being put to good use.
