I had a profusion of poppies in a particular area in an earlier garden but nothing else except maybe one or two corn flowers. <br />When I got round to doing some digging I discovered lots of bones. It turned out that somebody had buried a lot of dead chickens. Maybe poppies like bones. They also famously the only flower to survive the human slaughter on Flanders' fields.

I have forewarned my son that he may well find that the tree or bush won't take, and wilt. Oh, Cro, can you imagine it? As a back up plan I told him to plant some dandelion; they are not fussy.
