Hanging garden


Yesterday afternoon the boys and I went to Knollcombes to source some small plants for the hanging garden. I didn’t find what I wanted, ideally looking for ferns, but got a few other bits and pieces. The boys were helpful with finding bulbs lying on the ground, some of them already growing little plants and roots, but easy to lift up. Those will eventually grow into huge aloe-type things, but in the bottles they won’t get very big. Later in the afternoon I invited Elsa around to help with the bottling of said plants, and so I could show her how to work with pewter. We had a good afternoon. The plants got planted, and the pewter was pewtered, with much chatting in between.
