Apple Blossoms new project

Thank you for sharing the photograph with me @shiney it's so lovely. May I ask how old this one is as it will give me an idea of size v age?

I agree what you say about moving it at a later date. If I'm being very honest with myself I really like it where it is and I really don't know why I have this nagging doubt.

I have put a circle of Alliums around it, all at different heights from Globemasters, Ambassadors to large white, purple, blue and Sphaerocephalon. I have put some Fritillaria Imperialis Rubra at the back and I'm worried that I may have placed the bulbs a little too close. In hind sight I'm thinking lets have a look at what happens next year for space and if I think it's too tight I'm guessing it would be easier to move the bulbs?

 

Thank you Shiney I think for their first year they will be fine where they are but maybe after this they may need to be moved away so I am going to be eager to see what happens

 

Other than the heavy shower here and there, had a good day today. Planted lots more bulbs and plants. Also spent a lot of time skimming the top of the soil to get rid of the hairy bitter cress thank you to my GC friends identification

I've put a plan together so that I can remember what I have put where and then when it comes to Spring I can look at space and height and plant summer flowers between



Just half way though the plot so hopefully with some dry weather I will be able to get it finished by the weekend. Really pleased with progress.

My little friend is getting closer and more confident every day



We had quiet a few down pours today so Tess and i took shelter in the arbour



It's all looking so much better, so hopefully weather permitting I will take an up dated photo and post tomorrow

 

No work today.................... a total wash out............ rain, rain and more rain...

Frogs were happy in the pond tho....

 

There's quite a lot going on in the bed already Apple Blossom, it's going to look great next summer.

 

The weather has been so wet that I've only just managed to get out and do some gardening even completed my first grass cut

My new plot is showing all things coming up so glad that I made a map as all the pegs I put into the ground to identify have blown away or been washed out during the winter months It feels so good to be doing things
