• Helped out a neighbour recently, she wanted rid of a few large pots. I have planted pear tree, severely cut back and a gooseberry bush in my garden this week. I also rescued a wisteria and an apple tree both pot bound for planting out later this year. My fear about wisteria are its roots if it goes in the ground next to neighbours extension, so it'll stay in its pot for the time being. i'd love to build a pergola against the house for the wisteria, but that needs to wait until the first floor extension is up..

    in the meantime and during my furlough, I am creating a herbaceous border here with a riot of bright hot colours including canna tropicana, crocosmia lucifer, castor oil plants, foxtail lilies, bishop of llandaff dahlias and ornamental grass of bronze, pink and green blades called pennisetum setaceum ‘fireworks’. The raised area at the rear of my garden will be levelled redundant flagpole/post coming out made ready for weed sheeting, gravel a few paving slabs across the back for compost bin / incinerator, the gabion wall in front of that.
