The last two years we have applied to Bulbs for London and this year we were also successful in getting a lovely box of assorted bulbs and seeds. Amazingly, it included some Eremurus tubers! Now that is exotic for you. A start to the planting was made yesterday and this time we have selected the south-west corner of the park for the planting.
Here are two of the intrepid bulb planters, who had to contend not only with a soggy clay soil but a generous sprinkling of rain to boot.
The same area will shortly be also planted with some small trees (whips), and already there are some mature cherries nearby to keep them company.
