    HI, Well as the sun was out this morning and it was looking like summer went to the garden centre and brought some grit and manure to dig into clay soil in my garden.
    Also sale on 50%of all shrubs and plants so brought a palm(Trachycarpus Fortunei) and a ceanthous(think I spelt it right) Both a good size for £8 for both. Am getting all excited as have only moved into this house before christmas and just keep looking at the garden thinking what i would like to do.

    So you have crossed to the dark side then lol.

    I hope you have better luck with ceanothus than I have, every single one I get dies.

    I spent an enjoyable several hours in the sun in the garden today. Bliss. And my alliums are finally showing their heads :) A combination of warm weather and sun has done marvels for the garden.

    just a update dug soil over today and it looks and feels much better just need to dig in a bit more farm blended manure.
    just one question is it okay to plant straight away after digging soil?
