8.30am start in the garden and then 3 hours of shovelling mud before the rain arrived. Not the way that most people have started the New Year. But I am not most people. This is a project that should have been done right first time at the start of 2024. The reason for all this toil is that for 1 month of the year the tulips look beautiful, then for 11 months of the year I am looking at mounds of weed covered mud. Solution, dig everything up and put the tulips into pots, then put a layer of coral on top for the remaining 11 months. Genius or eccentric its better than before, and I am happy with the solution.

these designs remind me of Paul Klee paintings for some reason, natural coral stone in the centre
