2026 - What I did today.

Today I had the opportunity to visit the private garden at Duart castle.      . The castle is open to the public. Bob had to go to service the mowers & strimmers. I tagged along as we know the gardener and he was actually working this morning. He’s only part time.  It was a lovely walled garden that someone took a lot of pride in, in the past. Our friend is staying to get it back into a cared for space. It’s split into 4 sections a formal rose garden, a fruit garden with a big flower bed running down the far edge, a vegetable garden with 6 lovely raised beds most of which have had the timber replaced, still a couple to do, finally the green house & polytunnel.  After the tour and being handed a bucket full of plants he dug up for me. I helped take down the old fruit cage and did a bit of weeding. 
This afternoon was potting up my newly acquired plants. Watered the tunnel, finished putting the rocks around the edge of the bed. 
Dug out the french tarragon and put it in a big pot. I’ll have to dig out several plants in the autumn to get the rest of its roots out.
