Another magnificent day.  We finished off blocking the main gaps in the hedges, did a chunk of tidying on the terrace and planted some cuttings.  Not bad for a day off!

The hedge should fill the gaps without the need for more plants but the cuttings are a good insurance.

I can’t resist inserting another photo of the primulas which are amazing.

And I can’t resist a bad joke.

Digging up the muck in Newhaven

Great morning at the park, sunny, warm and no wind!  Spring is bursting forth with lots more daffodils out, a magnificent show of primulas and the witch hazels adding colour too. We’ve dug over the east border and it’s looking good.

There has been a lot of damage to the star this winter and we are blocking up the gaps in the terrace hedge to reduce the animal traffic through the hedge, down to the star.  We hope it makes a difference.

Starbank Park features in the BBC website – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31751407 – it’s image 14.

Spotted this morning in the Newhaven Heritage boat planter.
