Sunday, 9-Dec-12

Yard
  • Planted three fuschias "Mme Cornellissen" in the bed at the end of the azaleas.
  • And scattered in that bed, 15 mixed, double narcissus. Dumped leaves over this area after marking the fuschias.
Pots
  • Planted 10 pansies that we bought at the Montemboeuf xmas market in two oblong pots. Thought we might hang those under the windows on the woodshed, but they might be in the way of opened doors.
  • Planted a little olive tree in a pot. 
  • Planted 3 heathers in a pot.
  • Tidied up, a bit. Moved olive tree, another fuschia, and something else against the house so they can be easily covered if we have a severe freeze.
Salad garden
  • Now that the woodshed is in place, this area has to be rethought and recombobbled. What to do with that yellow-flowered unnamed perennial that's spreading?
Entry
  • Planted a Clematis 'Westerplatte" (Patens group) on the pergola in front. A bit late to be doing this, so we'll see how it goes. It should have pink/red flowers 8-10cm, blooming May-Aug.
