Fern Garden

Today in the back bed I planted:
3 holly fern
1 fatsia Japonica
2 snakes head fritillary
1 perwinkle vinca minor
7 gladoli Albus bulbs
1 American sword fern
1 dryopliens affins (golden male fern)
3 Asplenium Scolopendruim (harts tounge) fern
1 Athynium filix - femina fern
1 Clementis snow queen
1 Lonicora Japonica Helliona (honeysukle)

They all went in with lots of home made compost, grit and a bag of manure. A few new shoots that were coming up were a little crushed in the process but not all. Now I just have to keep off that bed and give it lots of water.

There were even some Robins in the garden keeping me company today.

The rest of the garden is looking awash with the yellow of daffodils.
