The grass is ankle high (in places)
In other places there's no grass at all still. I've sowed more seeds there.
I don't mind the grass being straggly, it serves to hide the lumpiness of the ground it's growing out of. I'm not planning on falling into compulsive mowing, either, so that's another point in its favour.
There are shoots of the brambles I thought I'd removed popping up at the far end and some sort of creeper as well. I'm going to have to find the rigger's gloves and pull up the brambles, but I'm thinking of turning the creepers into a feature and wrapping them around a cut off section of trunk that's lying around.
This is just phase one. If I'm allowed (it isn't my garden really) I'd like to try a bit of wildscaping, turning the far end, at least into a mini nature reserve.

Down the garden path
Since this path, which goes to allotments as far as I can tell, has been closed off it has been taken over by nettles and other plants.

Ladybird tower
Now planted at the end of the garden. Let's hope it doesn't attract the wrong sort of ladybird.

Herb bed
The rain stopped long enough today to finally plant out the tomato and mint I bought a week and a bit ago. I also sowed a few seeds, we'll see how they fare. There's an empty space that's either going to get more tomatoes or another tall plant.
