Some welcome signs of life in the garden. We’re beginning to see signs of the bulbs we planted last back end, and we’ve been busy with last week’s delivery from Parker’s: lilies of the valley, oriental poppies in colours we hadn’t already got. The order came with a freebie bag of lilies which aren’t yet planted: we haven’t yet decided where to put them: decision criteria are: close enough to see the colours, and far enough to avoid the strong scent. I’ve dug out some perennial geraniums to make way for oriental poppies by the front door: said geraniums are good at covering a lot of ground in a hurry, but they are not among my favourites.
Good old Ernie came up trumps this month, yielding nearly enough to pay for my new specs. I collected the same yesterday, and they seem broadly satisfactory: the distance correction area seems wider than in previous lots. The reading correction is set a bit low, however, so I’ll need to see if the frame can be adjusted. Given what they cost, I’m disinclined to put up with anything short of perfection.
