We still have a few 'stubs' to remove from Conifers which suffered from too many years of shade. We also need to terrace the slope behind the Willow to resolve the erosion problem but with our planting early this spring the project is almost done! The Astilbes are still competing with the roots of the Willow but the area is no longer neglected so we provide extra water when needed and they're much happier now :)
