Today was a major day in the garden. A year after it was first planted out - and a few weeks after we'd done an assessment with Max, who's in charge of all the plants and their maintenance - we moved things around, planted up pots with geraniums and other things, replaced straggling vegetation that wasn't doing well in the more shady parts with plants that need less sun; moved sun-loving sages into the sun, and so on. When I say "we," I mean Max, and above all his crew of Rose and Joann. Our role was largely confined to saying Yes! That looks wonderful!, and to Alice baking a rather good chocolate cake with which to feed everyone. I can't promise update pictures tomorrow, when it's probably going to be grey and drizzly (good for the plants!) and very (for LA) chilly, but it's been exciting both to see some little transformations (much pruning) taking place, and also to take on board quite how much has grown, and has grown well, during the last year.
