Amazing light effects in the showery weather
We've already eaten the first one....................
Beetroot trial..............."Red Ace" on the left doing markedly better than "Detroit Globe" on the right though planted at the same time
Angi & Gordon's Pieris in position................
Containers for a bit of colour until other things grow in................
The Return of the Cotoneaster.............and its babies, all planted along the back.............couple of Helenium for colour
The shade corner. The vinca have taken and are looking good...............have added a climbing hydrangea, some Cerinthe and some hostas from home, with bedding begonias and lobelia until they get established.
Nemesia "Vanilla ace" and diascia "Flying colours" just for prettiness
Although actually......................we have had glorious weather while the rest of the country has been cold and wet. It's been bone-dry until the last couple of days and the veg were gasping............much further ahead than our Edinburgh garden and with a little bit of watering they have all shot up. Most things are establishing and doing OK.............the herb barrow was absolutely parched but still hanging in there, water feature not watering but quick to start up again with the first rain. Progress not perfection..................
