Garden Update

Ok so I have been promising an update with garden pictures for ages but not as yet got round to it!
My main task lately has been to sieve all the soil of the borders down 1 spades depth. Has taken many hours but it makes its much more maintenance for weeding and general digging. Must have filled hundreds of bags of rubble for the tip! Other to that I have been doing weeding and general maintains of the borders on a weekly basis and daily dead heading to keep the flowers coming.  Here's the pictures:
