Welsh Witch's Garden March 2004
Just the door to go on now...almost finished! I've rescued lots and lots of seed boxes from up by the hen house and put them in a bath of Jeyes fluid to give them a good scrub.
I have several boxes of seeds up and have out the bedding dahlias into their separate pots. Wondering whether I dare risk leaving the seedlings out over night until the door is on!
Meanwhile up the east walk. I have decided to dig absolutely everything out and replant due to the infestation of ground elder with the now inevitable weed breaks accomplished with a sodium chlorate bath then tiles overlaid so that I know where I have done it. The stones from the edge have been rolled right back so that I can dose the edges too. These stones were draped with various aubretia previously also infested with ground elder but not for long!
The cherry tree at the top is double and really lovely this Easter Monday is a rather dark, dank day! This east walk leads on to the orchard garden turn right at the top by the cherry tree! The slate path is made with the roof from the old coach house what a good idea I thought having seen slates in a garden centre. They;re much harder to break than you think!!
