Getting one's money's worth

The Council Tax direct debit having just screamed out of the housekeeping account, one felt that the non-landfill recycling bin ought to be a bit fuller than usual, so we have hacked down the cistus, hauled out several miles of honeysuckle and brambles, and given the roses a dead-heading that verges on pruning.  Perhaps the scaffies will actually deign to take the paper and card rubbish this time. 

More constructively, we have potted up some box cuttings that had developed good little root systems, plonked in some new cuttings of that and of the cistus, and saved a lot of rudbeckia seed, from ours and from next door.  Must look after them better next spring.
