Back to the pond today:
Thompson & Morgan had an offer on their bulbs ... so I bought 1500+ !!!
150 Allium Azureum
225 Allium Moly
300 Anemone Blanda Mix
600 Ranunculus
150 Mixed Ixia
75 Scilla Siberica
The patch near the fence now has 500 spring flowering bulbs plus what was already in there.
The pot in the photo was filled with a box I grew from a cutting last year. Very slow growing I know but it needed to go somewhere.
The small pots of lilies were planted up then I put new compost between the stones and put orange pansies and red carnations along there.
The Euphorbia (Miners' Merlot) could have gone into the ground but I decided to make use of the chimney pot instead.
Still haven't bought any alpines for the rockery and the pond itself is far too congested but otherwise this area is showing improvement at last.
We took a quick trip up to Bempton Cliffs last night hoping to see a White Throated Needletail ...
Photo from Hull Live.
It was late evening and the light was fading when we got there ... just in time to see it flying away!
