Its been mild and occasionally sunny today. I was so engrossed in working in the Magic Garden this morning that I nearly forgot to go to a hospital appointment. My Magic Garden is one of the key components to keeping me well, that with photographing it and being with Ben-cat. Today, amongst other tasks, I was planting out some more of the perennials that I’m using to fill up any gap I can find. Today’s mainly went into the western quarter of the Magic Garden’s centre.
Penestemon Dakota burgandy
Campanula persicifolia caerula
The ranunculus however has gone under where the asters will come up. Its yellow flowers will stand out against its wonderful deep coloured leaves & I love the fresh green of its stems. I think I will try and find another of these for under the hazel arch.
Ranunculus Brazen Hussy
Salvia ‘caradonna pink inspiration’
More of the daffodils are coming out into full bloom now including the yellow ones with orange trumpets & the earliest of my white ones
Ben has become overly enthusiastic about the latest additions to his catnip collection so this afternoon after this demonstration of love I have now put some protection in place - suspect I will have to buy a replacement white-flowered Nepeta before long though! Still, the 50 pence heucheras might survive.
