Done, ish

Been working hard again and the garden tiers are basically done.

This is mainly a post to record what has died. That is, three of my fruit bushes that never really took and the following two shrubs from the shrub collection:

Berberis Thunb
Potentilla Fruticosa

There is a third but I've lost the label off that.

I'll probably do some pictures later once I've decided which four of my shrubs will go alongside the fruit bushes.

Just read the following on wikipedia about one of my plants:

"In second-growth woodlands of New England, a thicket of lilac may be the first indication of the cellar-hole of a vanished nineteenth-century timber-framed farmhouse."

How intriguing.
