It took a little motivation to get out but once I was out I really enjoyed it.

Today I planted some primroses that I bought in a sale from B&amp;Q several weeks ago and also some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonaria_officinalis" target="_blank">Pulmoneria </a>(Soldiers and Sailors) that someone from the gardening club gave to me. I've been assured that they are evergreen and love being in the shade under trees. So that's where I've planted them. It never ceases to amaze me that after all the rain we had on Monday the soil under the trees is bone dry. I will need to keep them watered in the coming weeks just to make sure they settle in.

The rest of the garden is looking ok even though it's covered in a layer of leaves. Having cleared the lawn and cleaned piglet up I've set her running again because the grass continues to grow - and it's nearly December. What on earth is happening?
