What we are doing this week
? Rescued more yclamen from the flood waters. Moved seeded primroses from the garden to the meadow. Moved a heptacodium, getting a bit big for me to move but it was so dry here last winter I didn't do it. Got more leaves of the hellebores. Thought about by artjak

'll get some whites, maybe all white. But there is a tendency for things to seed back to the basic species. I love ragged robin. Don't know if I'll have any this year, I know its natural habitat is damp meadows but my 'damp' meadow has been under water by Ryan Lloyd
