I hate anything 'football' so decided to spend the day in the garden. I only have a small backyard so decided to plant an Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg'. It's a small maple and should only reach 4 metres which is perfect. It has a great shape and the red leaves will provide a lovely canopy in coming years.
I also took some Ajuga reptan cuttings from my neighbours which will provide a lovely ground cover (and suppress weeds) in a new garden bed that I have been working on for the past few months. It used to be a old concrete driveway but I dug it up and replaced it with a winding limestone path with a garden bed on either side...
Gardening for me is the most relaxing thing, particularly when the baby is asleep...
