Maintenance of Perennial Beds.
Find all the exposed earth, at this time of the growing season, a bit stressful.

Pictures all taken yesterday or today.

Difficult to decide what to do about ephemeral spreaders moving into other perennials that bloom at this time of year.
e.g. yellow Anemone ranunculoides.
I find part of the problem is me disturbing the rhizomes by working the beds (including adding/replacing perennials) in the previous year.

Largest amount of perennial colour currently is lungbanes.
Seems that it's the two species lungbanes I have that bloom first:
