Green Elephant aftermath

This morning my project was to plant all the things I got from the Green Elephant yesterday, as well as a bunch of things I've had sitting around in pots, being neglected, for far too long.

Well, before it started raining I managed to finish half of it at least.



*tsck* That photo doesn't look very impressive, but I shall put it up anyway. Things this doesn't really show:

• I mixed in an entire wheelbarrow load of compost before starting.


• I terraced the ground in a series of flat spaces, which I will eventually reinforce with mini rock walls. It's the only way I can water things and not have the water run straight downhill.

Anyway, I got everything dug out, dug in, smoothed out, set up, pictures taken ... and then it started to rain. I persevered long enough to plant the few things that most definitely needed it, such as the oriental poppy I dug up just to transplant to its new location, but eventually even wool couldn't help with the uncomfortable feeling of rain splashing down the back of my neck and I hightailed it indoors. Perhaps I can finish it next weekend. I can't do anything about it during the week, because it's always dark by the time I get home from work. -_-
