Planted out gypsophila and gladioli today, first time growing them. And the row of tulips are making me happy.

The slight mound/s of wood chippings in both photos are keeping my dahlias warm in the ground. I brush the chippings back in early May and place a large plastic bottle over the top (with the base cut out and the lid off) to use as a cloche. I then remove after a couple of weeks when the plants are outgrowing them. #allotment
