A cold but sunny day. This is my garden as seen from the kitchen window, and beyond the trellis on the bottom right of the garden is the new patch for the "Pentland Crown". The winter flowering clematis is outside the front door.

your second pic isn't working, Penny - check the code.

Nice clematis - C. cirrhosa "speckles" if I'm not mistaken?

Thanks, Jimothy. I did try to get the picture to show up. I wonder if it's not because it's posted in another thread on the site about vegetables. I will try again.

Yes, the clematis is "Freckles" - thanks for reminding me.

I think there was a little gremlin somewhere in the works Penny, I had a job to get it to show for you, but think I've succeeded now

Here are the new vegetable beds. I need to get good soil to go in them and then add compost to get them ready for use next growing season.

I'd love to fill them up with rotted goat bedding Penny which is high in pottash.  I've got tons of the stuff here. Pity you're nor just around the corner. I hope you find a cheap source.

My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic.

If at first you don't succeed,  

try again with something easier.

Wouldn't that be good! What a shame you are so far away. There's the little stable/small holding just along the road and down a lane. They will deliver stable manure free as they just can't get rid of it fast enough. I must get their phone number from my neighbour and ring them. I've got some bags of "Murphy's" bedding soil from the garden centre (I get a discount as I volunteer there) - four bags, to see how far it goes in one of the beds.

I would have emptied the soil into the beds this evening but it's very damp out with a spitting rain.

I've started a heap to make leaf mould, too.
