Onions up, hypericum down

My onions are coming up. I'm really pleased with this. The amount of work I've had to do on them is minimal. I just bought onion sets (baby-sized onions intended for planting), dug the bed enough to remove the plants that were previously in it, scattered a bit of compost and planted the onions. Everything else they've done for themselves. Unless they get attacked by a pest or disease (a possibility I'm not ruling out), then these are going to be an easy win for my vegetable garden.
Also, my other half kindly sawed the remainder of the hypericum right down to a stump. I'd cut most of it back with secateurs, but I thought sawing probably wouldn't play well with my back problems. You can see the stump at the back of the photo, at little further along the fence from my paint-your-own gnome.
