who's planting what this w/e?
snip
I've got lots to plant but unfortunately the space is currently occupied
by
builders and rubble. I had a go at cramming in a few plants yesterday
only
to find that I had dug up and damaged a nice patch of cardiocrinums and a
prized arisaema :-)

I bet we've all done that at some time. Did you manage to find a hole for
that Weigela I sent you - hope so because it gets to quite a size!

Oh yes that went into a large pot immediateley and is growing outward and
upward . It has a designated spot which is currently covered in scaffolding.

I'm sure it will be happy in a pot for a while but one of ours is about ten
feet across I should - I really will have to go and measure it. But that's
be in situ for some time.

All the stuff I ordered online in those dark winter months is starting to
arrive and nowhere to put it. A few more pots perhumps.

Always a good solution. ;-) We were talking to someone yesterday who said
that he knew a woman who has a Brugmansia in a huge pot which is on
castors
so that it gets wheeled out for the summer and back in for the winter. I
imagine the best way to do that would be with one of those wooden or
'faux
lead' planters that it would be easy to screw castors into.

Yes the castor things certainly work on flat hard surfaces but
unfortunateley I have soil paths, gravel and lots of slopes:-(
One of my very physically fit neighbours was always very helpful but
unfortunateley he has moved and the 75year old new owner has chronic back
problems.

You'll have to find some strapping youngster in need of a few extra drinking
vouchers!
