Boulder bed

Our newest flower bed was being gradually overrun with small weed seedlings.  Just at the stage where, if we didn't have the gravel mulch, you could attack them with a hoe.  But we do, so you can't!

I spent an hour or so painstakingly clearing it by hand today.  Final result in extras.  I haven't got them all, but it's much better.  There were little nettle seedlings amongst the other stuff, my fingers are testifying to the fact that even seedlings with only a few leaves are very definitely "stinging" nettles.
