Woodland Planting

Wow! This is absolutely lovely! I really must come for a visit some day Dawn. Its absolutely idyllic! Could you think about getting a shepherd’s hut with a log burner please...you know...for my holiday! Lol! X

Thanks Karen :-)
I have a feeling we will meet one day :-). I was dreaming I was digging in your garden the other night, how random is that and I said to you, “your soil is lovely”.
I’ll see what I can do about the Shepherd’s Hut ;-)

Lol! I hope we had a good chat and a cuppa after the digging Dawn! The soil here is lovely though. Yours looks good too! X

That area will no doubt be wonderful once you've cleaned out the couch grass & got your planting in! Looking forward to seeing the results in the summer!

that is going to be lovely Dawn.

Karen, we didn’t get that far I woke up, typical. Yes the soil in this part is great.
Thanks Balcony.
Oh Seanurn, couch grass, I was thinking about you and yours as I was getting it out.

:) its going to be a lovely area. 😀

You'd better make that two Shepherd huts Dawn ,I'm coming as well Lol , they do say stinging nettles only grow on good soil which explains your good soil :o)

I also get a lot of nettles! :)

Goyers ‘Wagon Camp’ !

Hahaha the more the merrier.
I’m looking forward to getting stuck in tomorrow.

Is this woodland part of your garden ? It must be wonderful in the spring walking around it and seeing all the lovely spring bulbs. How lucky you are ! I am sure all your hard work will be worth it !

It’s going to look absolutely wonderful when you have it sorted, one of our garden openers grows thousands of crocus tommasinianus in her woodland, looks stunning.

Yes Rose, the garden drifts into the woodland. It was a field 20 years ago and we planted the tiny trees :-) I’ve been working on it ever since.
Dotty, you told me last year about the tommy Crocus, I did plant some in there but not seen them yet.

Did I Dawn......... you’re memory is a darn sight better than mine!

Haha yes I think we discussed they must do OK as the trees are deciduous. I hope mine appear.

mine are only just poking the tip of their noses through so don't give up on Tommies yet.

Thanks Seaburn, they’re probably hiding under the leaves

Those crocus will look heavenly Dawn. I remember a few years ago walking round Bishop Burton village, not far from me and coming across a cottage with its garden just full of these beautiful crocus, lavender, lilac white and blue...just like pointed candles, beautiful!

They must have looked beautiful Janey, the tommies are the best for naturalising aren’t they, I will have to keep getting some each year :)

They really did Dawn, I hadn't seen this type before, it was breathtaking!

A fave of Alan T :-)
