Today in #Rakesden...
Wur wee Mrs Blackbird popped by, but I couldn't get a good shot to show the wee white tuft on her arse by which we recognise her.

Found another pallet and did a bit of lashing together to help secure the iron frame for now. Still needs attached to the wall long term but it should be ok until the clematis has grown enough to have real weight. Other pallet in temporary/trial position.
Looks like we have a bunch of fresh growth on a fair number of the lavender cuttings. They seem to be liking the shite weather keeping them damp and the high security wing keeping them from getting pure soaked.
Wee flowery bit on one even. I'm guessing if they're hale and hearty by the autumn I should probably pot them on individually and maybe best bring them in for winter, or at least bring some in to try and spare them the cold and damp as best I can.
The heuchera at the front of Langshaw is still looking good so I didn't fuck the roots too badly when I moved the Welsh poppy in front of it. Yay!
The dianthus layering seems to be surviving OK too, better than the one I brought indoors as experiment. I reckon the latter has too much growth for what roots it might have started growing to support, where this one is quite wee.
Self heal really starting to open up now. I really quite like this for the woodland vibe. No surprise given my love of bugle, really. I may let this properly spread as ground cover in Langshaw, see how it comes together with the achillea and such once they're established.
Talking of which, there is activity on the other dianthus, the sweet Williams! Am excite!
First stirrings on one crocosmia too, and over by the acer, so it'll be cool to see the golds together.
The astilbe in Tupsbeard Knot is also slowly heading towards its candy floss spectacularity.
