And into the ground

Here is what the Forsythia looked like this afternoon when I'd finished getting it in the ground.

The ground sloped a bit so I got some sturdy rocks from a near-by road-side rock-cut to build that end up a bit. I dug a hole about 60x60x60 cm (like nearly 2x2x2 feet). The hole got filled with rotted leaves, lots of compost, and the cleaned soil. I used a few of the stones I pulled out to make the big rocks more sturdy against run-off.

We'll see how good a job it is in a few months.
