Easter 2009 arrives and our visit finds the garden in bloom, the daffodils bursting and the grass just stating to grow fast. Our planning and work over the preceeding few years is starting to produce the results we hoped .
We decided to plant slow growing, small and dwarf daffodils in the hope that they would not flower until mid to later April each year and they woudl not droop; it seems to have worked. Mind you, it does not look like there are 500 bulbs planted!
The mulched grass cuttings appear to help keep the weeds to a miminum and hopefully continued application will help improve water retention over the coming months and years. We have also used wood bark in the borders and particulary the Herb beds, which is working.
We were given a selection of Willow that has been planted in the trellis I built and these will hopefully provide a screen and work with the Clematis and Wisteria we planted.
Joshua has created a video show of the garden and we have included some views here, so please take a look .
