Mon 30 April 2012 Pot up plugs Plant up Forest Garden


Rain eases to a day of cloudy sunshine

C (new trainee) and I pot up the remaining plug plants in preparation for the hanging baskets

Weed and plant up the new Forest Garden, plants are from Beth Chatto and sent in plastic bags with elastic, god quality. However some problem with sending out order means some of the plants not available, J advises to use what we have..



 

Puzzled by the planting, though early days. 

Have just realised there are two alliums on the planting plan.... oops

Thymus vulgaris Common thyme

Allium schoenoprasum Chives

Hesperis matronalis Sweet rocket, (aka Dame’s rocket, Damask violet, Dame’s violet, Dames-wort, Dame’s gilliflower, Night-scented gilliflower, Queen’s gilliflower, Rogue’s gilliflower, Summer lilac, Sweet rocket, Mother-of-the-evening and Winter gilliflower)

Primula veris Cowslip

Salvia officinalis Common sage

Allium tuberosum Garlic chives
