So I took a spare moment to pop out to pick some of the hollyhock seed pods and realised that there were some, but Spring would be the best season.
But once I started pruning to get the pods, I just kept cutting. I'd been wanting to get rid of them from the veggie garden and sow some elsewhere.
So cut cut cut cut, chop chop chop, little digs little digs, and most of that great clump is out. Just one persistent large root that I'll take the choppers to tomorrow.
Now that feels good!

This morning I came across an article that talks about #hollyhocks being edible - both flowers and leaves. I'd heard that before, but had forgotten.
I grow hollyhocks.
