Hi,
Thanks Becky; don't daffodils cheer us up.
I scattered lots of assorted plants and shrubs in our rear garden last year then there was a long drought but I'm delighted to see many have survived and are flowering giving so much nice colour where it used to be mostly moss with a bit of grass. It was hard graft at the time turning in the moss/grass but worth it. The plants will now become established to fill in the spaces.
Kind regards, Colin.
Our side garden dug over; wet heavy clay.
Last year all this was mostly moss; the stump is one of two 80' tall conifers I felled and disposed of; it's a very steep garden.
Here's my friend Soots; Soots appears from over the wall at the top of the garden and must live the other side of the lane; she enjoys our company as we enjoy hers; just one of many cats who visit us daily.
The top of the garden having been dug over by hand turning in grass and removing lots of bushes and a long hedge then rotavated five times; I sowed meadow flower seeds yesterday so fingers crossed these will take.
Two rows of Primrose I planted last year thinking they had died but here they are now in bloom looking happy.
The side garden; I've just spent a lot of energy breaking up the clay mixing it with decent soil; it's now ready for meadow flower seeds.
