Very pretty. So is the borage that appeared this year and the broad beans. The no seed bird food keeps seeding with corn. We have some new flowers but I will have to see when they open as to what they might be. Might be musk mallow very feathery leaves. I had to get the magnifying glass out for so but when I do do they are really beautiful I take a photo then enlarge it. Herb Robert, Cleavers, Sticky Willie, Pilewort , Wood Avens. Star of Bethlehem we thought was garlic or wood anemone. We have old fashioned crazy paving with earth in between and whatever comes up. self heal I think and dog violets and clover and shamrock, al very tiny this year. People visit and say why don't you pull all that out!

I had to look him up, I am maybe more Monty Don or Percy Chucker as my uncle called him. Partner can't bear Mr Titchmarsh. She likes a mature lady.Lyn? I shelled the broad beans but we don't know if they are safe to eat as they just appeared. So we have left them for the birdies and beasties.
 
We had some work done and there is tuns of silicone render in lumps chipping size and like sand in the earth. The flowers are coming back through . There are patches of it on the earth and grass. I tried watering it, I have raked it. Have you any ideas please? It says it's not harmful to animals.
