hop

Leafy collection that probably needs weeding but I thought it looked too nice to interfere with today. The large leaves in the middle are golden hop leaves. There are also rambling rose leaves, forget-me-nots, a bit of goosegrass, a few nettles (good for butterflies) and a few brambles. The hop scrambles all over the stump of an old apple tree in the summer that’s also prettily covered with bright green ivy leaves and, despite falling down a few years ago, still has a few very tasty apples on its new slender stems.
See how I’ve talked myself out of weeding....
