We had a lot of rain showers passing through today, some of
them very heavy.
By dodging the showers, I managed to get my new seedlings
planted out.
Sometimes I thought the rain would flatten them, but, no,
they all had their heads up when the sun tried to shine again.
As I said yesterday, Son and I are streamlining the pots so
that they will (hopefully!) be easier to care for. There is bracken growing up the back of the
area, and we already had a couple of spider plants and some grasses in pots.
This photo shows half the garden area.
I planted succulents, violas, primulas, cyclamen, and three
hyacinth bulbs (beneath some violas in the trough). We are going to place large stones around the
pots – we have a few already, but will need to get some more next week.
There are some hanging baskets that need attention as
well. I think they would look pretty
with violas in them over winter.
Our weekend is about to begin here, and we are expecting the
arrival of a couple of little rat babies.
I’ll keep you posted.
Margaret 😊
That will form an amazing sight in spring Margaret - your garden must be very sheltered to be able to plant a "jelly bean" succulent outside!

It is in a sheltered spot. Usually manages to survive :)
DeleteYour pots are going to be beautiful. Full of colour.
ReplyDeleteYour pots and planters will look so good when it all flowers.
ReplyDeleteNot so enthusiastic about the rat babies!
I know bracken is not generally deemed desirable but it looks great as a backdrop for your arrangement.
ReplyDeletePlant pots and rat midwifery seems like an interesting way to spend a weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the delivery! The winter garden will be lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how resilient those tiny little plants are, surviving a downpour like that!
ReplyDeletePlants and babies growing - wonderful life!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the trough; the row of pots with little pretties looks great. I hope it all thrives!! GM
