<\/a>Dead plants and dandelions<\/p><\/div>\n

They had great fun scratching and pecking at anything I took out of the garden. It took me a while to get the job done because as I dug up worms, I took them in to girls. The girls love watching me doing some gardening because they know they will get the worms.<\/p>\n

The plants look a bit lost in the lawn at the moment but this is a work in progress. I decided that rather than dig out all the thyme I would just dig out a bit to put each plant in.
