You may recall I planted several hundred daffodil bulbs around the garden last Autumn which had been kindly donated by some friends. In particular I planted loads in our front bed (read about it here) hoping to have a great Springtime display. Despite the fact that the front bed has, at times, been like a quagmire over the winter (sooooo wet and boggy), the daffs have done surprisingly well and have indeed treated us to a really lovely view for several weeks. There are some that need digging up and replanting as they came up blind, but all-in-all they were a great success, so many thanks to Kate and Andrew for the sackful on bulbs!

How the Daffodils Turned Out!!
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia) Planting
Friday, March 26th, 2010Following the driveway work we had done in December 2008, forming two new parking bays, we finally found an afternoon to plant the shrubs that we planned to use to cover up our neighbours garage. We were not sure what to use to start with, but in the end decided to continue the existing Laurel. Also Tammy spotted an advert in Cheapcycle for ‘dig-your-own’ Laurels in Wreningham.

Rabbit Proof Vegetable Patch!
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
We are very excited that at last we have the start of our vegetable patch! If you regularly follow out blog you will know that the Wildlife likes to strike back, so we have had to create Fort Knox to stop the fluffy bunnies (!) thinking we have created them a handy larder-cum-restaurant.
How to Plant Daffodil Bulbs by Tammy!
Friday, November 6th, 2009Tammy’s method for planting ‘lots of’ Daffodil bulbs:
- Get Husband to dig a big trench 3 times the depth of the bulbs
- Line bottom with sharp sand (helps with the drainage as daffodils don’t like wet roots)
- Gently sink bulbs into sand
- Rake back soil and gently firm
- Wait for Spring!
