                Damage free so far from the wind of the past two days. Rain forecast but nothing much turned up. Borders very dry again so will water them tonight.
                I moved a Weigelia that i wasn't happy with and other than constant weeding, nothing much happening. Still got a few spaces to fill.

                Bought Lavatera x clementii "Barnsley" or Tree Mallow today. I wanted a taller shrub at the back of my south west border and went for this even though it prefers the lighter soils. Its situation will be in a hot spot with plenty of sun and the soil drains well in this part of the garden so im going with it. Allegedly easy to grow and can be chopped when gets too big.
                I also bought five Box cones that will be put on the three corners and either side of the new play area entrance once the mini wall is up and a narrow raised bed is made behind it to move them above the wet level. The Ilex Crenata will then fill in between these to make the low hedge. Tried to find five Crenata big enough but nothing around here and what was on the NET was expensive so gone with the Buxus. I will see what it looks like.
