It is a weed mate and it attracts unwanted wildlife as well, best thing you can do is burn it. Make a big bonfire and torch the lot.

How do you like those apples?

Apples are not in flower yet but the Pear tree is, which is a first for it.
Grape is looking good as well, I had a couple of pounds of grapes last year so maybe a bit more this time. The Kiwi fruit is doing it's normal triffid thing and growing for the world and the Gooseberries and blackcurrants look good as well. We are also on for a bumper crop of Tayberries.
Down side is we appear to have lost a 25 year old Eucalyptus tree :(
I have been meaning to take a picture of the Snakes head Fritillary which has thrown one white flower amongst the normal ones but they are ending now.

We have terrible soil as it is mostly clay, boggy in the winter and cracks in the summer. :(
We built a frame and got plenty of top soil and compost and made a raised bed so we could give a few things a chance to grow.
Our main success was a Japanese Acer, also known as a Snake Bark Maple. It is beautiful, red in the winter before the leaves drop and green about now.

Lovely bluebells!

Bluebells do look great when they are blooming.
