plant update II

Some the plants really needed to be planted out after the gardening centre trip on Sunday, but I made the fantasic cock-up of forgetting to get the compost out the car when I got back to the flat. Therefore I had an emergency dash to morrissons after work today to get something to put the still potted plants in. Which we have now done. The first one is a Cordyline Australis 'Tobray Dazzler' that is a real Bobby Dazzler. He has long floppy hair and will grow up to 6ft by 5ft in 10 years!

This is, quite clearly, a Lavender plants - but not just that, it is 'Fragrant Memories' - how true! The bumble bees have already been at this one and it particularly likes its colour coordinated pot. This will also get canny big, mebbes a 1m or so!

Last but not least is a big fat 'Lady Thumb' Fuchsia. Its giving some much needed volume to the garden, as the problem with having such a big yard, is its sort of bare appearance. Woe is me eh? This has the potential to grow massive, and I hope so. Bon Nuit.
