Corokia cotoneaster

The little bright yellow flowers of the Wire-Netting Bush always brighten up the day! We have had three worse that normal winters in a row now & while many so called hardy plants in our garden have died this has continued to do well.

New graft potting is done!

All our 2011 grafts are finally potted - Well done Chiyoko.
Now it's on to the rooted cuttings.

Planting our Windmill Palm...

Our Trachycarpus fortunei has lived in the same 36" Cedar Box for the last 6 or 7 years, Since the box was falling to bits & we didn't want to pot it into an even bigger box we figured it was time to plant it in the garden. Getting it from the back of the house to the front garden was no easy task though!

Me giving instructions to the Palm

 

Somehow we got it into the hole & upright!

Et Voila..
