Planting

At the beginning of the day we had a raised bed in the courtyard that was almost ready to plant and various parts laid out. Things got a bit messed up when the contractors had to dig trenches for the gutter drainage pipe.
By the end of the day the raised bed was planted - but you can't see the plants so well because I had to move a lot of plants from the other side in order to get the raised bed set over there.
Japanese Maple Atropurpurea got a home, as did the Dwarf River Birch - the only reason that they were the first was that they had suffered so badly in the pots and the sun that they were doubtful for survival.
