Keep planting

After our few days out, I had rather a lot of little jobs that needed to be done at home. Mainly planting.

It didn’t take much to get my beautiful wooden bucket planted up with some pretty little annuals. I love the simplicity of just the one type of flower in it. Now I just need to decide where to put it.

Brian helped me plant my rhubarb plant, which on reflection I’m thinking will outgrow that spot in a couple of years. I will see how it goes.

I’d also bought some beautiful little yellow potentilla’s for the slope. They add such a brilliant pop of colour, and should once established flower most of the summer.

This little blue ceanothus is a plant Brian has admired for many years, but we never bought one. This one will have plenty of room to grow up on the slope in full sun.

Lastly I had 6 or so ‘vivace’ (perennials), which I wanted to add to help start to fill the borders in the walled garden.

We shall see how they all fair with our climate of hot summers and cold winters.
