30 April 2014 - Glebe Farm - Re-designing ...

By Dave Hilliard




Apart from the standard maintenance of grass cutting and digging of borders, I have been potting on seedlings in the greenhouse (sunflowers and cosmos). I started to sow broad beans and runner beans in pots, while planting on leeks, onion sets and sweet corn.

 

My main project for this year has been to re-design two perennial boarders using plants from the garden however, I have added some plants purchased from two NGS - National Garden Scheme – gardens:

 

Jan Saunt at Plovers Hill, Buckenham Road, Strumpshaw, Norfolk NR13 4NL and

Sally Ward & Richard Hobbs at 16 Witton Lane, Little Plumstead, Norfolk NR13 5DL

 

Saliva - Sclarea Var Turkestanica

Scopolia – Carniolica
Brampton Stock - Matthiola Incana
Penstemon - Marjory Fish
Linaria - Dartmoor Sunset
Iris - Sommer Revels
Iris - Xiphioides (Latifolia)

I will be starting a new seating area over the early May Bank Holiday weekend.
