Attack on Townhead!
Taking advantage of the a lovely dry but cold winters day I nipped up to Townhead to plant some hostas, carex and a chocolate vine.
The bad news is that the garden has suffered it’s most serious attack to date, in addition to the dumping of an almost unbelievable amount of rubbish several plants have been stolen. Needless to say this is very frustrating and disappointing. I sincerely hope those responsible have a thoroughly miserable and unpleasant 2009. Still I suppose that we should be grateful that it’s them and not us going through life with such rancid and ugly personalities.
It is also worth remembering that despite this set back most people have been supportive and most of the plants have been left alone. What has been stolen will be replaced as soon as I can get to the garden centre and believe me they’ll get sick of this long before I do.
All in all there’s a lot to look forward to in 2009, more of which in another post.
