30th September 2009

The weather forecast was very bad and we left home in heavy rain but this all cleared by the time we reached our new section.

We had been given several large flaxes that had outgrown their existing home and took one of these plants with us to split and replant.


It proved a larger task that we anticipated as this one plant split into 9 new plants, and it could have been 12 if we had had the time and energy to dig the extra holes.


We'll see how these survive the move before we bring their mates. They are about the toughest plants around but we have been told they do not transplant very well. We shall see....

And our new neighbours-to-be very kindly gave us their old letter box, just needs some new numbers. Hopefully niece Katie will be willing to apply her artistic skills...
