We’ve just renewed the planting in our platform planters, with help from Maggie who used to garden with us. Fingers crossed, the bright cyclamen and early daffodils will last into the spring. It’s been a dry couple of weeks but sure enough, this Tuesday afternoon, it decided to rain, luckily only a light shower on the wind. True, the planters needed water and we’ve added plenty of our superb compost to keep the soil moist and add more nutrients. Now people, please don’t sit on the planters. Squirrels and foxes, no digging up – and slugs and snails, please go and eat something else!
