Day 42 of the 100 day project
Does this count as nearly half way? A couple of days so busy that there was not a space to get out into the garden. I countered that by thinking about which plants I would have if I had a much smaller space. I didn't get very far with that but in a couple of weeks I have been invited to go with a friend to Chelsea. I am so looking forward to it. Today I more than made up for a couple of days off. I planted all the plants I had bought earlier in the week. The white foxgloves went into the side garden, currently being lit by the flame of this smyrnium perfoliatum. I bought it years ago from Great Dixter. It took a while to settle in but now it self seeds just enough to make it interesting. It is a triennial, the only one I have ever knowingly possessed. This makes it even more important not to weed out the plants which have no flower spikes as they will sit quietly in year two before exploding into lime green gorgeousness in year ...
