Thursday 28th April

I spent a couple of hours in the Magic Garden this afternoon catching up with little jobs. I had already planted out ‘blue’ (violet) and today I planted out white ‘bacopa’. These are really correctly known as Cheanortoma cordatum. Although they have similar flowers the true bacopa has different leaves and are an aquatic species.

I did sit for a few minutes admiring the fence from the arbour seat. I then filled in the various places with the composted bark mulch. Its a lovely stuff to run your hands through!. The last job was to tidy away every bit of dead wood and leaves from under the gooseberry.

I also planted out into one of the troughs at the back of the garden some Marguerite daisies, Argyranthemum frutescens. I love these perennial daisies & think they will look nice with last year’s osteospermums.
