Fernery

You may have missed the hint in an earlier post where I said that I had plans for the ferns that I had dug up from the various areas of the garden that were being replanted. The evicted ferns were potted up to await their fate.

I also had a fern that, for several years, had been living in a pot on the patio and was pleading for more space.

My aim was to plant all the homeless ferns into a small bed to one side of the summerhouse. This bed is fairly shady being shaded on one side by the summerhouse and on another side by a willow screen. One fern was living happily here prior to the construction and happily avoided being trampled on by the joiners who came to erect the summerhouse.

Maybe to call this area a fernery is stretching it a bit but now I can reveal our - well let's call it a mini fernery.

I just need to add a bark mulch, maybe one or two more small ferns and possibly some pieces of log then that's another makeover finished.

Last reminder:The closing date for the flower competition is fast approaching - last date for entries is this Saturday - TOMORROW!
