From fragile poppies with tissue paper petals to robust pom poms of chive flowers. Bladder campion on wiry stems and sweetly scented candy peas, there’s calendula in abundance and an explosion of candy rocket, arcs of campanula and trails of custard colored nasturtiums, vanilla scented Nemesia, autumn-sown snapdragons in apple blossom pink and a handful of rattling brizia to prime all of it off.
The rising house we created final 12 months is stuffed with inexperienced leaves and new shoots, a lot extra in bud ready to open and unfold, the roses are blooming on the arches and within the beds wildly now. Time permitting I shall be again quickly and my subsequent put up shall be a tour of the cottage backyard and greenhouse to see it now, what’s rising, and evaluate it to final 12 months.
However for as we speak, these are the issues that grew in Might, all my favourites gathered collectively within the window of the lean-to. The winds have to this point been fairly variety and the combo of solar and showers has meant the lushness is off the size in comparison with final 12 months’s chilly however dry spring. To be going into summer season with nothing parched is such a blessing. Now I’ve simply received to maintain the slugs away from the dahlias and zinnias for the subsequent act. Want me luck! x
