In honour of the equinox I got up at dawn and sowed some wild flowers (foxgloves, red campion, ragged robin) in the damp shade at the bottom of the righthand fence - if they germinate, clearly they're meant to be there! Also sowed alkanet "Dropmore" and cornflower "Black Ball" around the tulips on the opposite side of the garden. Then I ate breakfast in the conservatory and spent some time bringing my garden journal up-to-date, including recording my sowing experiments.
In the afternoon I potted up the plug plants I bought a couple of weeks ago, as it's still a while before most of them can go outside, and hung up some solar lights in the conservatory. Eventually the lights will go outside, but we need to get the pergola over the patio replaced first. I also created a Pinterest board of all the container plants I'd bought, to get a better feel for which ones work best together.
