This week, with rain promised, I made a start on planting out the autumn propagated plants. I find that summer comes sooner and hotter all the time, so I’m trying to push these plants out into the ground so they can take hold of their new surroundings before the parching weather arrives.
Myoporum parvifolium (narrow leafed “purple” variety) (above), and dianella revoluta (below).
The bike trailer comes into its own yet again… as a hand cart!
I’m filling gaps in a massed planting, most of which has gone from strength to strength.
And you can barely see it, but here are some of my plants tucked into the gap… which is pretty much what I also did with the myoporum, a tough, ground hugging plant that has blanketed more and more of the patch where I keep planting it. It looks good, it flowers, bees appreciate it, and it gives people the impression that they shouldn’t be walking into the patch where it is growing, where rubbish has been dumped, plants have been stolen, and rubbish lands–and all of these things happen less and less as plants fill the space, creating something good for insects, birds, animals and human passersby.

A nice positive action, thanks for cheering up my day 🙂

One of the reasons I guerilla garden is that it feels positive to me and that makes me happy too 🙂

I’m sorry I can’t answer! When I go to the site I don’t see a skein as the feature photo. Clearly you’re seeing something different, but I can’t figure out what it is!

It may be that in the blogpost there is a “featured image” set – you can check this by editing the post and in the extra settings of the post there is one to set a featured image.
I think the image shows in the WP Reader feed and in the viewer when reading the post, if I’m not mistaken

That sounds like the Suffolk skein dyed with indigo! I’ll have to check that setting. I didn’t think I’d changed it recently….
