April resolution

Make a note of everything planted, date and place.  We have been peering at the bits of straw in the border of the new garden, wondering which ones of last year's new plants have made it through the winter. this is the place to write down that several clumps of Iris sibirica moved from the base of Rosa mutabilis are now transplanted to this new border.

Another note: Ceratostigma, Corrine's recommendation.

Corby is tackling the ivy in the bed by the rose arch. The aim is to eliminate all the ivy from this defined area, which includes the retaining walls at the side of the patio. Ivy's had a free run through the stones, plants and trees since forever. The dry stone walls have been rebuilt by Dave Grundy and Corby and will now stand up without the help of the ivy, so that's a good start.
