The tree ferns cometh

As far as news goes in my garden, this is as front page as it gets. Some weeks ago I splashed out on a pre-order of tree ferns and this morning I got the call I'd been waiting for. They're in.

All those nights staring at the gap in my planting imagining the six-foot sentinals taking pride of place and come tomorrow evening, provided the delivery driver doesn't get lost, I will need imagine no more, because they will be there in all their prehistoric glory.

Watch this space, as they say.
