Taking advantage of a break in the rain and I finally complete maintenance to the wildlife friendly banking

Thinning out some of my strawberry plants, removing weeds and turning over the soil before transplanting the healthiest plants.

I thought to make an early start on maintaining the wildlife friendly area

An hour or so maintaining the wildlife friendly banking while the sun was out

While onsite tidying my raised planters I thought I would begin trimming the wildlife friendly banking area, clearing away dead plants, thinning out various grasses and taking care not to disturb any of the inhabitant protected species (slow worms and common lizards) that may not have gone into hibernation yet.

Weather permitting I should be able to complete this tomorrow.

Maintaining my planters in between the showers

Still a little more work needed but that can wait for a drier day
