    This area needs some attention. Your thread has given me an incentive for an afternoon project @Banana Man :doh::). The Euphorbia's got to go and there's lots of suckers from an old Lilac in the wall and bed. Watch this space!

      If I had any area at all which was that lovely, @Plantminded, I'd be well chuffed! :biggrin:

        I'm sure you've got better areas in your garden @ViewAhead :).

        Well it's a dustbin full of water with duck weed on top.
        I'll grow any thing, :biggrin:

              This is a great thread because with everyone’s ‘insta’ perfect garden pics on other threads it can seem like you are the only one with messy, scruffy and disordered areas.

              I took this one of the base of my Lupin with the thought to start a “worst plants” thread:

                    Prepare to be amazed :roflol:

                    The other day I cleared most of the bindweed, ivy and goosegrass from here

                    P1600852.JPG

                    This is not really a messy part as it is just waiting for me to light the blue touchpaper. Waiting for the wind to be in the right direction.
                    P1600854.JPG

                    Apart from the shed being fairly full of pots and plant trays - as well as mower, garden tools and chairs we have a few areas with pots etc.

                    The butler sink was one of ten that we sold for the charity but this one was never picked up because, unfortunately, the member of Admin that had purchased it died :sad:

                    @Victoria our units are out of the way and we have one in a similar position on the summerhouse

                    I forgot to take a photo of the mess under the bench in the greenhouse :doh:
