I haven't been out there yet - I've got no 'oomph' today. I will this afternoon, all being well, and if the rain stays away.

I have a soft spot for Skimmias - they brighten up the winter so much!

especially if you let the foiliage go yellow coz they are in a chalky soil !!

Ummm...I have neutral soil, and they seem to be OK in it!

Ours manage to keep their leaf colour as long as they have some protection from the harsh sun.........
