What a day!
Because we 'lost' an hour this morning, I woke at 5am, of course! Slowly
the day dawned crisp and cold but with an achingly brilliant blue sky. Now, at just after 10am, the sky is gleaming overhead and a heat haze is rising from the vents in the roof of the biggest greenhouse. Let's hope it lasts! We've planted up a lot of the pots dotted around the garden and where some Euryops died in the frosts, we've planted lilies, underplanted with a dear little mat-forming Veronica - might be V. liwanensis but I'll have to check that. It's a charming little plant. Elsewhere, the shuttlecock ferns are slowly unfolding, the tree ferns seem to be okay and are forming their croziers in secret and Camellias and Magnolias are bursting with life. Our 'wedding cake tree' which had closed buds furled up tightly just waiting for some warmth, has sprung into full glory and almost without my noticing, a living willow fence is almost in full leaf. And the snowdrops have disappeared for another year. Everything seems to be moving so fast now! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
