... but I hope it will become a real one in a while. I put some compost and fertilizer on top of the lawn, and only dug the lawn at all when I planted some of the plants through my little garden layer. There is pretty much enough planted to fill the space, and the pots are to create the illusion. Sort of.
Ann & I went on a mission on Saturday and collected my new Hebes that I am going to use instead of the box - Green Gem - that I had planted already for my garden edge/hedge. For some reason I got them from Shed 16 in Drury, which is a bit of a way but a really nice place to go, and has all of the Camellia Haven camellias. They are H. Pinguifolia Sutherlandii and look a little bit rounder leafed than the ones I had. I'm going to keep them in groups - the difference I hope won't be too noticeable. We also went to Joy Plants in Bombay where Terry Hatch gave really generously of his time - and Ann bought her hedge plants. What a lovely garden day - we even went to Eden Garden, before we left town.
