Restored order in the Exotic Garden

Friday 23rd
Weather: A cold, wet and damp day, when the turf is so waterlogged that you feel so guilty for having to walk on it.

It felt good to clean the Exotic Garden today, now that it has been pared down to an almost skeletal structure. Especially when half the world has been blown away in the night (it has been really windy), a comforting sense of order seems to be restored just from brushing up and smoothing out the soil beds, and from where holes had been left from lifting out tender plants to store.
