Did the Display House with Chloe, there tends to be a large turn around after the weekend and picking off of dead - again to prevent Botrytis.  Started Sarah's planting in the Rock Garden - Disporopsis undulata, Epidmedium pubigerum and E. mikinorii, Haberlea rhodopensis 'Virginalis' (close to where there is already a mature colony - these are planted sideways for water to run off them), Trillium kurabayashii, Epimedium grandiflorum, E. nanum, and Iris 'Peter James around one of the pond areas. These are all from the Shade Frame and part of making the collections more manageable by planting out some of them. Tidied and weeded the areas as I went along.
