It was a glorious, warm and productive morning although we did make time for coffee.  The spring colour has largely gone but clematis are starting to flower on the east wall.  The ferns are doing remarkably well, I think they have all survived their first few weeks at Starbank.  A special thanks to Bridget for bringing more ferns this morning.   The herbaceous borders and roses are thriving, too, and promise lots of colour in the summer.
