We took a trip to D'Arcy & Everest last weekend as they were having an open day. They're a specialist alpine nursery so Corrina picked up a few new additions for her apline collection, including this Delospurma Sutherlandii.

Sedum City
Corrina at last has a home for her sedum collection, a hot and sunny well-drained patch by the shed is now a thriving city of sedums and other succulents and alpines.
Garlic Rust
The rust on our garlic had got to the point that it looked as if the plants were suffering badly, so Corrina lifted one to see whether it was any good and to thankfully it had done pretty well.
The bulbs aren't as large as as they have been in the past, but we normally lift them in July so we haven't done too bad. I suppose we'll have to give the garlic a rest now or the rust will be back next year.
