Clematis go in
I made a small trellis, from bamboo that I had pruned out of the garden last month, which I have dug in with the first clematis up against the fence. We wanted to paint the fence before we had any established plants in alongside it. I have put a large stone over its roots to keep them cool during summer as this will help the plant establish.
The one nearer the house, with the bamboo trellis is Royalty - rather appropriate that it is planted today of all days. Concord flew over us as I was planting it, on its way to do the royal fly past at Buckingham Palace.
The other clematis, Mrs Bateman, has gone in under the elder tree and we hope to train it along the fence from the top of the stream. I have my doubts that it will survive there as next to it is a creeper that we are training on the trellis part of the fence. We will see what happens.
Next short: New Bamboo!
