Gardening, landscaping and plants in general

[iammortalcombat]

Not the greatest pic but expanded to 2 beds this year and started working on adding a clear path. We took out 9 dying pines from this area last year.

So I have the back-breaking job of digging out an 800mm border in my garden.

During my hard labour today I came across this ‘object’…..

What do you see?
Any thoughts?…..

Pretty good condition to be very old and too thick to be any type of knife. Thinking it may have been part of an old iron fence?

@goosehd Whilst I’d love to imagine it is a weapon of some description, some kind of railing is a more logical assumption. The site has an old Victorian convalescent on it in the Gothic style (now converted into apartments) so no doubt something to do with that.
It really captured my boy’s imagination - he went on to dig for more random finds.
But back to the back-breaking border for me tomorrow….

Jasmine is blooming and first few radishes already were popping along with some purple basil that needed topping. It’s my favorite part of spring.

A lot of very nice flowers from you guys.

Picked up a Heptacodium Miconioides (Seven-Son Flower) tree today for Mother’s Day.

This is what it will look like when mature:
