We sowed some little radishes today. Polendino could not be swayed from also sowing some watermelons. Hmm… I’m a bit concerned they’ll take over, but I’m hoping we can guide them over the edge of the raised bed and have them traipse along the ground.

We planted the first of the non-edible garden beds too, following our garden designer’s instructions carefully. What went in:

  • 1 x Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’ (a birthday pressie for Wing – thanks Mum & Dad!)
  • 16 x  Convolvulus cneorum
  • 3 x  Phormium ‘Pink Ribbon’
  • 5 x  Rhaphiolepis ‘Oriental Pearl’
  • 1 x  Loropetalum ‘Burgundy’

There’s already a large, white-flowering Camellia Japonica in the bed, which forms a nice foundation for all the new planting. Here’s what it looks like now…
