SUNDAY AFTERNOON

The snow didnt last long so we got outside this afternoon. Sowed some Hollyhocks Nigra & some Sweet peas, then we dug up the Mahonia. The soil was sodden it’s a wonder anything grows there. I dont think it had been dug deeply for years. So we put in plenty of compost to improve it a bit then re-positioned the Mahonia so that its planted at a better depth now. Now I can plant a couple of ferns at its base. We’ll see how it goes!

No it wasn't too bad to move;that was part of the problem, it had been planted so shallowly & soil built up around. I could never plant anything around it because of its roots. So it looks happy at the moment I am just going to keep working on improving the soil around it that is such wet clay. Time will tell.

Hooray! Hope it's happy in its new position. Was it difficult to move?
