Its been chilly here today although the sun was out this morning. I got on with more planting out and simple maintenance in the Magic Garden.

I planted out the blue & white meconopsis plants into the back corner having filled up with some ericaceous compost to provide acidity & added in a gallardia to addd some bright yellow in later in the season. I’m pleased with how the ‘wild’ corner is coming on as a proper herbaceous border. I planted a second erysimum, that I had been tempted into buying when I went to get more seed compost, under the rowan tree.

I tidied up the Thyme zone planting in replacement thymes, cleaning the paving stones & putting down new white chippings. It rather emphasises the need for more gravel for the pathways and I need to find red chippings too.
