New plants

 

We had a very industrious couple of hours work today.

Steve from Continental Landscapes gave us some witch hazel and lavender to plant today and some hops that Claire potted on, to strengthen before planting out.

If you can, take a closer look at the witch hazel. It is such an interesting plant.

 

Errol kindly helped us inflate the tyre on our barrow.

Here are Alison and Simon planting the lavender.

The daffodils springing up amongst the euphorbia was an inspired bit of planting, thanks to Charlotte’s suggestion.

The wild garlic gets stronger every year. Look out for the pretty white flowers further into Spring.

We had a lovely surprise by the roof-top pool on the Bug Hotel. Someone has planted these cheerful violets.
