Bought and planted ground cover to fill in between and under the sad-looking aronia bushes.

The weather forecast promised rain for today, which was quite perfect. Ulriksdal garden centre is always busy on beautiful days, but during this gray morning there were no queues and no crowds, and I got my shopping done in record time.

A few light drops fell while I was planting, but I got everything in the ground before the real rain arrived. And then it did, and watered all my planting. Perfect!

As for the bushes themselves, the current approach clearly isn’t working. I’m going to start over and prune them heavily, and hopefully that will make them branch.
