Box moth caterpillar seems to be endemic across the Midlands, they can defoliate a bush in days so it was time for a change here at Shed Towers as three large plants have been removed from long border. This has meant an excuse to go plant shopping on a regular basis and moving some existing plants around. It’s also given space for other plants to really shine like these alliums. Change in a garden is a good thing.

Happy Easter! Traditionally a time to get out in your garden but as these fritillaries put themselves next to the similar coloured tulips it’s just as valid to let nature take its course!

If there’s a kind of weather that I haven’t worked in this week I can’t immediately think of it. It’s been a good first week back of full time and my new signs arrived. Which the observant among you will recognise as being based on my original ones. 😊 (In writing this post I also realise it hasn’t been foggy but I did get snowed on while mowing)
