Another two hours of clearing out ivy and dead plants. Here's what it looks like now:
The ground was (and still is in places) 20-40cm deep in leaf litter, dead branches, discarded prunings, old fence posts, angle iron and lost footballs. I have piled up the dry branches and will have a bonfire when it's all cleared out. The "sweepings" can go in the brown bin next week. I have balanced the footballs (3 so far and another visible but unreachable) on the back fence since that's probably the garden the originally came from. Wonder if the neighbours will appreciate their return?
Another view, and a confused cat. She'll have to find another jungle. I will probably hide the pond hose under some guttering and behind the retaining wall (plank and pile, if I decide it's necessary and will look right).
The other side of the pond. The variegated ivy can stay since it appears not to have tried to take over. Most of the plants in this area are going to stay.
and the view from the seat in front of the shed:
So far: time spent = 7 hours, wheelie bins filled = 3
