Well, this is what I've just planted by the shed, hoping they will delight us as much as last year's crop. Star's Favourite, which should be pink and god. White Ballerina. Hillcrest Royal, purple. Pam Howden, yellow and orange. Keith's Choice, red. There are waterlily, decorative and semi-cactus in that lot. We have another 4 plants to find a home for. A place where they can shine, but not detract from our other very tasteful plantings!
Today I started bedding in the new slate area in front of the tower. It's an area about 2m by 3m, dug out by Edgar in April, levelled by me in May. Then I put down half a ton of aggregate--really, it's not much--and figured out how the slates were to be fitted in, cutting the irregular ones as needed. It was very satisfying to use some of the big slabs I exhumed from the old ty bach a year ago. I laid them down on the roughly levelled aggregate, and today's the day actual mortar got used. I hope to get it done in two more sessions.
The new lawn in the area that used to have the old hut needs to be mown again. This will be the third time. It is looking smooth and dark green.
