Bay Garden, Camolin
The morning was spent planting out. I finished planting up the border around where the stone circle will go so, in the afternoon, I decided to treat myself to a visit to the Bay Garden in Camolin.
I visit the Bay Garden every year and it never disappoints. It has so many different sections and different planting ideas that I always come away excited. At this time of year the primulas feature strongly but this year I noticed the most effective use of aeonium zwartkop in several places.
I brought two of my sons. They seemed to enjoy themselves, as you can see from the photos. Afterwards they had to be treated to tea and home made biscuits as this was the agreed pay-off for their company. Everyone has their price!
I, of course, had to treat myself to an aeonium zwartkop and I am delighted with this new purchase. I was also really excited by some of the red/black border planting but had difficulty in naming all the plants. In this picture, it looks like ricinus, astrantia, heuchera flowers and maybe wallflowers?? Maybe someone else would like to offer their opinion?
By the time I got home I was invigorated so did some more planting out. Amazingly, I'm finally finding homes for all this year's seedlings.
