Several years ago, my mum and I raised several plants of Oenothera odorata from seed.
Arrival
I have stacks of photos to write up and post about from this lovely spring. The garden is overflowing with foliage and blooms, and I am trying very hard not to look at the sneak attack of couch grass which has sprung up through the borders.
Punch
Pinch punch, the first of the month… and Happy St David’s Day to one and all from not-so-sunny South Wales.
First Crocus
Crocus chrysanthus ‘Zwanenburg Bronze’ is lighting up the garden amidst the leaf litter.
Glint
February already, and the garden is quietly beginning to slough off its slumbers as the days draw out once more.
Transforming
I’ve missed most of this autumn, one way or the other.
Fizz
As summer draws towards a close, these are some of my highlights from the borders.
Chartreuse And Wine
In the spring, I found myself captivated by a container planting scheme in a magazine.
Wandering Star
Faith, our cat, has been missing for ten days now.
Hot
This week, the UK is enjoying a mini heatwave. The sudden high temperatures and humidity are a little challenging to work and sleep in, but mostly welcome after the drab and cool start to our summer so far.
