The 'black' plants that I ordered have arrived, so I'm full of ideas about where they will be placed in the 2 flower beds. I have to say tho, that they don't look much like in their catalogue picture!



The plant people do warn not to be alarmed by the dormant state! The two baby ferns are in their pots in this bed, which is where all the new plants will probably end up going.





The twisted Hazel is producing all it's catkins now, so spring must be 'officially' here!

Only indirectly related to gardening; these Maran pullets are now 16wks old. 'Himself' brought them home as 4wk old's, which was a bit of a challenge cos winter's not a good time for raising chicks, really. They've thrived tho and now, they have to be moved from their little run into the hen-house-on-wheels with the other birds. There might be some disruption whilst they all establish a new pecking order but hopefully it'll pass quite quickly and they can all go out onto the field and range together.

Congratulations on having received your black plant bulbs and roots! Isn't it amazing to think about the lovely blooms you'll have later this year from those ugly looking things. :) Love your hens. I think I'll have eggs for supper.
