New border

A little more digging, and working in manure today, and then the highlight of all - planting!  Today I planted five geraniums, three dwarf sarcococca hookeriana humilis, hamamelis jelena, hamamelis mollis, vibernum bodnantense "dawn", hollyhocks of unknown colour (self seeded in the lawn lower down), blue lupin, lemon balm (also salvaged from the lawn), dicentra spectabilis alba, eryngium gigantium "silver ghost", a tree peony from Christine, and leycesteria formosa salvaged from the garden before building works began.  It's been a busy day.  As usual, Maisie helped with the weeding!
And most glorious of all, the only thing flowering, heleborus niger or the "Christmas Rose".
