The Taming of the Bank

It's taken a few years, but this weekend we have finally tamed the bank.  We applied some of the unmentionable a few weeks back, which made the job a whole lot easier, and have now cleared and reshaped the bank ready for sowing with phacelia to ward off the weeds until we can smother in foxglove seeds and other delights.  I have definite leanings towards woodland gardens, and I'm thinking this might be the way we go for the bank.  I can just see it smothered in primroses, foxgloves, helebores and other woodland beauties.  And there are not enough trees in the world, so who needs an excuse to plant a few more?  The top photo was taken just a month ago on 12th March, and the other two today.  I do so love to see a bit of progress!
