Bank holiday Monday

With a rare burst of insight, we gardened yesterday and cut the grass.  I finally got round to splitting one the beautiful epimediums that Jane gave us four years ago, bringing a couple of bits closer to where we can see it when it flowers in the spring.

Today being that curious British institution, a Bank Holiday, it has pissed with rain all day.  The water butt I emptied on to droopy roses yesterday is full again.  I suppose a glance at the forecast would have saved me some effort, but the exercise was worth having, I guess.  And yesterday's divisions and cuttings will be very well watered in.
