Sunshine in Argyll

Over to Loch Fyne to drop off some plants.  Beautiful sunny day and the irises are coming in to flower. Happy days!

Broughty Ferry Revisited

Up to Broughty Ferry garden - www.sam-mcgowan.co.uk/broughty_ferry - to check winter damage and see how plants are growing in general.  Overall things are looking good although there have been some losses.  The sunshine helped make it a fun visit as did the clients' enthusiasm.

Trying to catch up

Out to Midlothian to check how some of last year's planting in a woodland garden has recovered (or not!) from the ravages of the severe winter.  Less bad than feared a month ago - less than 5% will need to be replaced.  Been a busy few weeks visiting a new site near Pitlochry, checking on outstanding work in Fife and Renfrewshire, chasing contractors for costings and keeping clients aware of how things stand.  The sunshine makes it all fun again.
