A breath of air

This morning dawned fresh (no frost) and dry so there was a mad scramble to get outside and get dirt under the fingernails.
Sue is developing the woodland bed in the allée and so she began to plant up primulas.

We have a large Japanese maple which we bought autumn 2016 and which suffered terribly in a late frost last year.  So I have now made a 'pot' for it which is more in keeping with this woodland area and we transplanted it this morning.

This turned out to be more difficult than we had thought as the tree was heavier than anticipated and not easy to get it and the bags of compost up the bank without trampling too many daffodils!

But it was good to be out and about.
