They have settled in beautifully in the little round bed behind the azalea, important to remember where they are because they will disappear until next spring..................
Lots of work done on the most glorious day of the year, it was HOT but no midgies! Indoor works continue while lucky gardeners get to work outside.................
The plastic compost bins are gone, and in their place are the raspberry canes which will hopefully enjoy having their feet plonked into the compost.............salads are starting to appear, also carrots, but the kale still going strong. Potatoes planted, beds weeded, molehills transported for soil improvement. Lobelias and Busy Lizzies into the shady beds along with lily of the valley, dahlias and gladioli. Herb barrow replanted with some herbs from Edinburgh added - two kinds of marjoram, thyme "Highland Cream", variegated sage and pineapple mint. Two containers planted, one with pansies and the other with begonias and nasturtiums. Now all we need is some clement weather and appropriate showers..................
