Blog 661 - Starting a New Garden Life
zvone:
Hi Lesley!
Where are You?
Best Regards! zvone
Lesley Cox:
Thanks for your note and interest Zvone. I can't believe where the time is going and all my Blog intentions have collapsed in recent weeks (months) as other things crowd in. I'll do what I can as soon as I can and in the meantime, I apologise abjectly.
Tim Ingram:
Lesley - the little plant of Hypericum kelleri that you so kindly sent me is just beginning to grow away on our new 'Mediterranean bed' and I will show some pictures as plants on this come into flower. Kind regards from Kent too.
Lesley Cox:
I'm so pleased about that Tim. Mine is looking a bit shabby at present but we've had so much rain lately, another 30mm overnight and the whole place is awash today. Surprisingly, Asperula suberosa and Veronica bombycina in the same trough, are looking amazingly well with new growth.
My gorgeous Magnolia 'Ian's Red' was hit by a southerly gale in the summer time and had the top 2 metres snapped off. It's been trimmed to tidy it and though looking a bit stubby at present, will recover I think after a couple of years. There are some buds for this coming spring anyway. The ground underneath is covered with different forms of Cyclamen coum, the first almost out, and Iris ret. 'Harmony' among them, is well up already so should flower mid winter.
