Planting

We’d been out for lunch, and when we got home Brian suggested we plant the plants I’d bought recently, and also a couple I’d been given. It was due to rain later, so an ideal time to get them in.

I knew where I needed them to go. I want to create a border, or bed of plants, to the left of the path as you walk up to the pool. I’d like to include some aromatics, as I thought this would be lovely as you brush past them.

We laid them out, giving them plenty of room for growth. At this stage I’m leaving the grass in place, I will see how this goes over the next 6 months. At the top of the slope I’ve included a curry plant, which apparently loves a dry sandy soil. Fingers crossed this will like where I’ve put it.

As we’d had lunch out, we didn’t need a big meal for supper, so enjoyed a nice glass of Rully with some delicious cheeses.
