Lesley was in today so we teamed up to keep tackling the Raspberry cage, more clearing and chopping back and finally tying in which is very satisfying. Some fruit to try today and it was delicious.
The beautiful Pheasant was pottering about whilst we worked, he has amazing orange feathers. He seems fairly happy with his newly cleared area, if a little spooked with us being there with him for quite a long time.
After lunch we learnt how to collect and propagate from Rose hips, Rugosa being rounder than the bullet shaped others (Rosa Moyesii). Gorgeous looking things and full of quite large seeds. We shall see what comes of our efforts.
We also took a walk to the Shrubbery to see some Mushrooms Andrew had spotted and to chat about the work needed there in the coming months.
A busy day with the garden looking great today and a bit of time to look around. This stunning yellow and white flower is poking through the long border and looks just like a fried egg - Romneya Coulteri - wonderfully pretty.
Our green manure is already showing quite a lot and we found this little fella in the Roses!
