Lily of the valley and other plantings...............

It's a beautiful day here, and I've just come in from a couple of hours outside, pottering and planting. When we moved here, there was a nice patch of lily of the valley in the back garden, one of my favourites. Strangely, it never re-appeared, to my disappointment, just diappeared for some reason. I've tried a couple of times to establish it again, inlcuding an expensive pink one from e-bay, but no joy. Not to be beaten, I bought three bundles of very healthy looking roots on saturday, gave them a good drink and got them planted out thismorning, in the front garden. Fingers crossed! I also put in a few other things, moved the sweet peas and broad beans into the wooden greenhouse, tidied up outside the kitchen window. I need to get into that part this week as I want that are to plant a cutting garden, but need a cunning plan to keep the marauding chickens out................
The sun is still shining, and it's actually warm out there - washing out soon too. :)
