A Work In Progress

Resuming where we left off last week with soils at college, had us all comparing our ph levels and soil texture on Tuesday. Mine being a comfortable loamy sand with a slightly alkaline ph, some others in the class were not so lucky, especially Judith who could have thrown a pot out of her heavy clay sample. I may have the smallest garden in the group but at least the soil is beautiful and stuffed with worms! In the afternoon we continued with plants and teamed up to plan a mixed border with the emphasis on the herbaceous planting. It is a very rough start as you can see, but with a little tweaking for homework we should be able to pull something workable out of it all!
