Planting

Now that the left wall was looking good, the corner of the right wall also needed some attention. Although Sara and I had tidied up this area already, Chris made a bit of mess doing the chaux in the corner, which was completely expected, but it meant we needed to revisit it.

A quick clear up of the chaux, a dig in of some compost, (careful not to damage the little honeysuckle I’d planted there last year) and a replant of some irises and it looked a lot better again. We also planted a Camillia which I’d bought recently. I think the bright pink flowers will look beautiful against the newly chauxed white wall. A white rose grew on this wall, which had to be cut down pretty hard when they chauxed it last year, and it’s showing some strong signs of life, so I’m hopeful it will be okay.

We had a little bit more planting to do in a couple of the beds also; some perennials and some herbs that I’d bought recently.

We watered them all in well, as we do have a few sunny days forecast. Hopefully they will enjoy their new environment.
