So , you know how when you're out shopping at the supermarket and you see these lovely little Acers....and three accidently fall into your shopping trolly ?
Yes ? Well , that happened to me the autumn before last . I potted them up in the next size up pots , except for one which I thought I'd plant out , up on the sloping shrubby bank .
Well , I planted it just in front of the Holly bush at the top . A bit cruel really I know and you can't even see it !
I think it will eventually look great up there .
I have been very much worried about Ricardo going up there with the strimmer .....he strims the grass around the shrubs at the bottom .
So I thought I'd go up and take a peek , see how it's doing .
Wow ! Looking lush ! Very happy me ! 💚
It has been very much protected from this summer's cruel heat waves by the understory plants .....
........that I am about to clear away .
It's true what they say about newly planted saplings -
🌿 " First they sleep . Then they creep . Then they leap ! " 🌿
