first of the season

. . .Raking, that is. Around the lilies last year's leaves have all been wilting and looking more and more pathetic. I came back to the house today with a burst of energy and decided that they needed to be cleared up.

I've left the other lilies in the picture so you can see where I'll be starting the next time it's not pelting down with rain.

That's the gardening bin filled then. Pity that it's not going to be collected till March!
