Hooptedoodle #475c - Garden Project [4] - Boney Joins the Ranks

We are now moving on to the shrubs and bedding plants phase, and a first instalment was delivered today, to be planted on Sunday. In the meantime, I have them lined up in the shade on the north-east side of the house, and shall keep them nice and moist until then.

More photos will appear when we've done something, but in the meantime I have to mention that one of the new arrivals is a cherry laurel, bred in Germany, named Prunus laurocerasus 'Bonaparte'

Well, it had to be done, hadn't it?  


This is a stock photo for the moment, but no doubt Bonaparte will be standing proud in the long bed by next week. Nine new potted shrubs to go in this week. I hope to publish the evidence here.
