Bad year for grass

The new daffodil bed, as seen from the terminal carex pendula, looking north. A bed which has not been cut since it was cut in the early summer, after the bulbs had died down. So growth of grass very poor, not enough to keep a rabbit going, never mind the two small horses which live in a back garden a few houses along.

Ants nest has also died down. At the moment, neither ants nor any sign of nocturnal activity.

No signs of any bulbs coming up yet, although we have had some - possibly not daffodils - coming up in the other end of the garden for some weeks now. And I think that these daffodils were showing by this time last year. Blame the global warming! Blame Trump!

But, as can be seen, the carex has seeded or sprouted and my current thought is that I might let some of the seedlings grow. At least they seem to go - and I am a great believer in plants which take to their surroundings and do not need much in the way of care and attention.
