The New and the Reviving

I drop in before school and take Winnie to have a look. It's 7:30 and the drainage team are surfacing. One is on site to start work. Their job today is to tidy up and wash the slab clean. After school I drop in to feed the cat and do some watering. The water table is high and there is water about one metre down. The well established plants are generally OK during summer, but I want to make sure the ones I have moved and the new ones stay alive. It's too late, though, for the passion fruit. It didn't survive the frosts, even though I covered it religiously. I've tried once before and will try again, but the winters are too cold. As yet.
