A new home for the asparagus
The asparagus plants are winging their way to their new homes via Hilary and Ian at College. I'm sure they'll do better than they were here.
3mm of rain here yesterday - not exactly a downpour but better than nothing. Still only snowdrops out amongst the bulbs - no sign of a crocus flower let alone a narcissus. I need a decent sunny day and an hour or so at home to take a few pictures.
Some plans for this year (apart from passing the RHS General!):
- replace the strawberry plants with new, better varieties
- buy a pot of Acer palmatum seedlings and do some grafting next winter
- get hold of some Hamamellis virginiana seeds/plants and graft the Hamamellis mollis
- take softwood cuttings of the winter flowering cherry
- grow Cavallo Nero cabbage.
- fertilise and water more!
