Planted in the green

Planted bluebells in the green today, bought from the TCV shop, but I see that this closed for business on 7th March - so will have to find an alternative supplier next time.
Also planted Lesser Celandine in the green, but then felt very daft for buying them as there is a profusion of lesser celandine growing along the stream. Will also try transplanting some of them into a damp area of the new woodland next weekend.
Planted rhizomes of wood anemone fairly far apart (about a foot or so, as I think that these spread quite well).
There is good evidence of fresh Muntjac deer hoof prints, so around all of this new planting and the area that has the wild garlic I put a chicken wire fence, using some old wire from the orchard. This is less than a metre high and so will not stop a determined deer, and is also not dug in at the bottom so will not stop a badger. However it might just be some deterrent, so was worth a bit of time erecting.
