Holly

Pa and I planted a dozen holly plants on the top of the bank by the road on the left hand end. Plants were between 3-12" high. The soil was only about an inch deep with solid clay after that. Not sure how well they will grow in that. Perhaps the bank was created by digging out a ditch hence the lack of soil.

However the "soak-away" ditch over the other side of the bank probably has some good soil in it if you dig it out. may be useful when planting other plants.

Anemones were coming out and lots of violets. A few bluebells here and there but in the surrounding countryside there are only out when in full sun positions at the moment.

Quite a few primroses.
