I have a garden (inherited) which is a total rubbish dump, used to belong to a person with mental instability. Plenty of made fencing and sculptures. But plenty of rubble. It has too much concrete in no bird or animal would like, although the neighborhood cats use it as a playground or fighting ring! We’re so keen to build a huge compost heap and veggie patch but we need help. The chaos is too big for us. In our old garden we recycled, composted and grew tomatoes, rocket, curettes and all herbs. Now all there is weeds and wild mint! Help

Carex buchmananii, or Fox Red Curly Sedge
The shortest summer in a century has passed by very quickly and an early cool Fall has arrived. It seems like only yesterday that I had 50 Spring Flingers visit my garden on May 31. The newly planted bed ( photo 1 above ) filled in very quickly and while it looks pretty good, pretty good is not good enough for me.
This was my first experience with Fox Red Curly Sedge which I fell in love with and planted two in the new bed. I think that the other plants overwhelmed the sedges and that they needed their very own space to appreciate their special qualities so I moved them to the front of the beds. I like them much better now that I can see their full beauty.
The two Walker's Low Catmint that I planted this Spring seemed a little lost so I transplanted them toward the front .
I divided phlox, blackeyed susans and sedums and planted them at the back of the border. Once the annuals expire I will plant Spring bulbs in their spaces.
And that's just the back border. The front garden borders need attention as well. A gardener's work is never done.
