Cuphea
Never got to Johnstown today. We were expecting a delivery by DHL, package arrived, not for me, was due to go to UCD, my delivery is lost, no body knows where it is really p.... off. The attitude of some people is unreal.
Anyway, my back was at me a little this morning, decided not to do any of the work area. Cut the rest of the hedge, cleared all cuttings etc. Another couple of days and area will be cut and cleared back. Great to get it that far, will be easy to keep from now on, can sort out the rest in time. Hope to level the work area next week when off again.
Then when on to a small bed beside the Decking, split a few plants moved a few around, looking good.
Had a really good look at all my Fuchsias, I don't think there is much life there, time will tell. One great surprise was that one of my Cuphea is showing buds. This one of my favourite plants, thanks to Headgardener, I now know it is a tender plant from Mexico, I have it for years, but this is the worst winter it ever had to get through, and it has not let me down, really trilled on that one.
Jacinta was here on Sunday, and most generously of her, she gave me some seed potatoes. They are in the utility room chitting for a while. Maria hardly past a comment on them, this lady just might be for turning, little by little just might do it. I was even told today that the Amaryllis was going to look good. Hope springs......
