I flattened the grass in front again; raking tomorrow. Dug up an old potato patch (yield: a dozen very small potatoes, but I let the tiny ones escape), harvested soil and used it to repot a very potbound spider plant that a neighbour had left at the kerb for the taking, then scattered nasturtium seeds, covered, and watered. The dog was amenable, so she got a walkies in the late afternoon.
