Default Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

Took out a lot of the wild ferns growing in semi-shade and just left the maidenhair, and took the machete to the passiflora. In their places I planted a huge number of impatiens seedlings and angel-wing begonias. Saved some impatiens for my Russian neighbour Tatiana who gets tired of shades of green and wants flowers. I never get tired of shades of green and contrasting leaf shapes! Now I have to find a place for the asparagus fern (sprengerii) - one of my favourites!

Got the best sort of friends - Charlie came by with 5 huge bags of concentrated matured cow manure, and Jerry came by with 2 even bigger bags of stable bedding and horse manure. Just had time to drag them under cover before the rain!! The children will dine well and there is plenty for everyone. haha!
