Primrose and Christmas Trees

My Primrose plants arrived from Thomson and Morgan they were so small so I might have to wait a good few weeks until I see any growth. There are 42 plug plants and I have put them on the right side of the garden.  I am looking forward to the lovely flowers; I will keep you updated.

I just love Free Cycle I thank my friend Sharon from Canada for telling me about this great email Group.  So far I have got 4 lovely trees, Holly, Cyprus, and these two Christmas Trees, Jae from Muswell Hill had them in pots and she said they really need to go in the ground and Jae emailed me asking if I wanted them I jumped at the chance to get more plants and the best part of them is they are free. Jae was the lady who gave me the two other trees.

Jim my brother said I have to be careful because these trees will suck up all the goodness in the soil and stop my flowers from budding, so I have decided I will leave them here for a while to they take and grow a bit then move them to the back of the garden.  I did try to plant the bigger one at the back but it look so lost sitting there all on its own it needed the company of the other plants I think.

I am so pleased with my new border and ever since I enriched the soil with the farm poo, he he, even my cuttings are at last taking.  I have tried so many times to get a cutting of my St Johns Wort and now I have three little cuttings coming up.  I also have Cuttings of the Bay tree and two Hydrangea cuttings.
