The Plot Makeover

 

Groundsmen at it,

 creating phase one.

The Court Gardens - Spring '26

Starting at the West End with Clive's collection,

before heading East to Barbara's new planting, 

and her year old one,

followed by my efforts

before reaching the seating area 

with pots overflowing with colours

next to Martin's newly created 'Victorian' garden.

Moving on, cleared but no cunning plan yet for a design for Janet and Spud's make over. 

But it is on the way.

Ok, layed out a few days later

Left side of the entrance . 

At the East End, Gek's efforts paying off year by year

and Katherine's entrance coming to life.

On the south side, Sue's slope waking up.

My first introduction to flowers in the spring of '47

path to Flat 9 completed with primroses,

but some roots still to remove.

From mixed pots

to matching pots, Victorian style.

The Plot

 

On the 31st May.

Slugs

 

One night of destruction. 

So, slug traps needed made from small plant containers and yogurt pots filled with a mixture of bread flour, sugar and yeast in water. One night 6 trapped. Sorted.

Job Done

 The completed Plot. 

The Patch from Above.

 More planting to be done but getting established. 

The Patch

 Started the planting. 25 in the collection so far the beds, a ways to go yet me thinks.

On the left side, a branchery for the 20 alpines.

Well, ok, 12 fitted better. Now the wait to see how things developed.
